Pakistan wins 2nd ODI against Australia


Having lost the first ODI against Aussies at Sharjah, Pakistan bounced back to win the 2nd ODI at Abu Dhabi with an impressive show of its batting force.

Pakistan's opener Jamshed hit an aggressive 97 that was the prime factor behind Pakistan's seven wicket win over Australia, levelling the three-match ODI series at 1-1 in Abu Dhabi.

22-year-old left-hander Jamshed took the attack to the Australian bowlers during his 98-ball innings, hitting 11 boundaries and two well-timed sixes to help his team successfully chase a 249-run target in the 43.4 overs at Abu Dhabi Stadium.

Although, Michael Hussey scored hefty 61, Pakistan's ace spinner Saeed Ajmal took a heavy toll of ther Aussies batsmen and dispatched 4 for 32 to the pavilion, while paceman Junaid Khan took 3-52.

Pakistan will now play its third ODI back in Sharjah on September 3-4 2012.
