Pakistan are on the verge of creating history by taking down Australia on their own home ground. After winning the last ODI match and drawing the series 1-1, the Men in Green have a huge chance of beating Australia in the 3rd game as well. Australia were bowled out for 140 runs and are in deep trouble.
Well, star players like Pat Cummins and Steven Smith have left the camp for the upcoming BGT series, but their presence wouldn't have mattered much as the Pakistan bowlers are on fire. During the game, first down batter Aaron Hardie's dismissal became the highlight of the game as he was looking to leave the ball but edged it straight into the hands of 2nd slip.
Shaheen Shah Afridi bowled a good length ball which was shaping back into the right-hander. It was a bizarre dismissal that will be remembered by the player for a long time.

Glenn Maxwell came down the usual batting order but still couldn't make the most of it and went out for a duck. This will be a forgettable series for Maxwell as he failed to impress in all three games.
Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah's heroic bowling rescues Pakistan
Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah turned out to be the most successful bowlers in Pakistan as they claimed three wickets in the 3rd ODI game against Australia. They dismantled the Aussies in their own backyard and didn't allow them to score.
Tail-ender Sean Abbot tried to rescue Australia by hitting a few shots but was dismissed by Shaheen Afridi. Harish Rauf also claimed two wickets and dismissed the opening batter, Matthew Short, who was playing on 22 runs in 30 balls. Now, the batters have to play well to win the game as well as the series.
