5th and final match of the tour vs USA

We won the toss and elected to bowl first.

They had a steady start and at the end of 23rd over they had posted 76 for just 1 wicket. Then the magical Sarfraz Waqas came and took three wickets in an over and push them back. After that they had a bad experience as just one batsman goes to the double figure.
In the end they were restricted to 115 and credit goes to Sarfraz Waqas who took carrier best figures of 5.5-2-8-5.

While chasing it looks simple but they grab their chances and put us under pressure by taking 3 quick wickets but after that partnership of 78 between Shah Saeed and Shaheer Akhtar put us in a comfortable position which helped us to get home with 5 wickets in hand.

Australia won the toss and elected to bowl.
