Pakistan were just two wickets ahead in a closely fought game in Melbourne on Monday, but beat Australia by nine wickets in a remarkably one-sided game in Adelaide on Friday.

With Haris Rauf brilliant with the ball and Pakistan's top order smashing Australia's vaunted attack with ten sixes, the visitors secured their first ODI win Down Under since 2017 with more than 23 overs remaining.

With Australia resting top trio Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc for Sunday's decider in Perth, Pakistan are well placed to claim a surprise away win.

MATCH CENTER: Australia vs Pakistan, second ODI scorecard

“It wasn’t one of our best days,” Cummins said during the postgame presentation.

“Today was unfortunately one of our worst.”

West Australian Josh Inglis gets the chance to captain his nation for the first time on home soil, with former World Cup winner Mark Waugh realizing he has a momentous task ahead of him.

“These are very, very exciting and challenging times for Josh Inglis. He will have a lot to do (along with the captaincy) keeping and batting,” Waugh said.

“It’s the best view in the house to move the field when you have the gloves on.”

Currently, an ODI winning streak that began in India in the World Cup in October last year is in tatters after an astonishing performance by Pakistan with both the bat and the ball.

Haris Rauf was again outstanding while Pakistan openers Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique fended off the Australian attack and showed what was possible with the bat on the pitch.

And as the Australians left Adelaide Oval on Friday evening as it was still getting dark, they had every reason to look shocked that a beautiful afternoon of sunshine had gone wrong.

With Steve Smith suggesting he was reaching his peak form and Josh Inglis' scoreboard forming a complete 360-degree circle, a score of more than 300 seemed plausible as Australia ran away at 2-79.

Rauf, the destroyer, appears in the 13th over.

The Pakistani paceman, whose performances with Melbourne Stars have made him a BBL favorite, is no stranger to appearances in Australia and set out to end the winning streak with some excellent bowling.

In his commentary, former world champion Mark Waugh asked whether the Australians had lost concentration by thinking too far in advance about what record they should record, pointing out that they had now performed poorly in two consecutive games.

“Maybe Australia thought it was a 280 pitch and just relaxed a bit. All of a sudden you’re in a hole,” Waugh said.

That is an understatement as Australia were soon in deep crisis with little chance of finding a way out when the man of the match, Rauf, set out to ruin the series.

After giving Pakistan a chance to win the first game of the series at the MCG with a similarly excellent performance on the eve of the Melbourne Cup, Rauf pushed the Australian batsmen from No. 4 to No. 8 with a match-winning performance.

The 31-year-old's rhythm and variety proved too good for the Australian middle order, which faltered badly after Inglis was out for 18 as he edged Rauf to Pakistan wicketkeeper and captain Mohammad Rizwan. And Rauf and Rizwan made the difference.

It sparked a steady stream of wickets as Australia's hopes of extending their winning streak, which stretched back to their World Cup triumph, were dashed.

For the second time in a row, Rauf caught Marnus Labuschagne (6 of 11) with a lead.

Smith enjoyed an early chance before settling, but after surviving an LBW review that would have seen him lose his wicket had he been given out initially, he was out the next ball when he caught Mohammad Hasnain in the 20th. Over against Rizwan displaced.

Aaron Hardie, who made 14 from 29 balls, was the third Australian to fall through the Rauf-Rizwan combination five overs later, before Glenn Maxwell dragged the paceman onto his stumps when he tried to pull him two overs later and fell for 16.

Australian skipper Pat Cummins proved a hero with the bat four nights earlier at the MCG as he led his side to a two-wicket win and was tasked with another late rally.

He hit a superb six at the start of his innings, but his performance was not to be repeated at the MCG as Rauf secured a fifth hit for the day, giving Rizwan a lead.

With Cummins out on 13, only Adam Zampa offered any resistance among the bowlers with 18, while the Australians were bowled out for 163 with 15 to go.

Australia's vaunted attack was rendered ineffective by Ayub and Shafique, who initially fought hard against Starc and Hazlewood and attacked Zampa with vigor later in the game.

The goal left the Australians no room for maneuver. But it is a rare appearance in which none of the trio threaten, let alone take a wicket, as was the case at the Adelaide Oval.

All three received six points in their games. Zampa, who took the only wicket of Ayub for a gutsy 82 off 71 balls, was also thrashed for four sixes.

Shafique remained unbeaten with 64 runs off 69 balls while Babar Azam scored 15 runs not out and secured the win with a six.

Ayub, who equaled the best performance by a Pakistan batsman in Australia with half a dozen sixes, said he was focused on the ball and not on the champions tasked with winning his scalp.

“The most important thing was that the team won. With this performance we wanted to be positive and not think about the result,” he said.

“When they were bowling, I saw the ball coming out of the hand, nothing else. It's about watching the ball, being positive and trusting myself. I’ll try to keep doing that.”

Waugh, in his commentary on Fox Cricket, was full of praise for Ayub, who was on seven from 27 shots before he accelerated.

“He put on a clinic with some clean shots. “This is a demolition job,” Waugh said.

“It's amazing what a little confidence can do. They're just in the zone… supporting their instincts.

“He is a talent, Ayub. A real talent. People forget that he is only 22. He still has his whole career ahead of him.”
