WATCH: Jake Fraser-McGurk left baffled as Shaheen Shah Afridi delivers unplayable inswinger in 2nd AUS vs PAK ODI

Pakistan got early success as Shaheen Shah Afridi drew first blood by dismissing Australia's opener Jake Fraser-McGurk in the 2nd ODI game. The terrific showcasing of bowling happened in the 2nd over as the Aussies were batting smoothly. Afridi came in and bowled on length, in the middle of the pitch and tempted the batter to play a drive. However, the ball hit the pad low, and the on-field umpire gave the batter LBW. 

Jake didn't go for a review as the ball was hitting the middle stump. It was a Plumb, and the batter had to return to the pavilion. Afridi magically bowls in the first few overs of the game with many variations, making it difficult for the batters to face him.

Fraser-McGurk departed cheaply for just 13 runs, but it didn't put an end to Australia's batting. As we write, in 15 overs, the Aussies are 87-4, with Steven Smith batting on 27 off 34 balls. He's an outstanding batter, and he's known for handling the innings really well.

He was being accompanied by Marnus Labuchagne, who was batting on six runs. However, Haris Rauf dismissed him with a solid delivery. After winning the first game, it seems the Australian batting attack is in deep trouble.

Good training sessions and boys are good to go: Pat Cummins

Australia's skipper Pat Cummins was ecstatic about their win in the first game, as the chase was quite thrilling. Pakistan's bowling attack has been brilliant in the series. Moreover, Cummins praised his teammates for showing proper intent in the first game and winning the game by two wickets. He mentioned the training session and that the 'boys are good to go.'

"Always a good wicket here and a beautiful stadium, one of my favourites. We could have been clinical in that chase, good training sessions and boys are good to go," said Pat Cummins.
