MI Cape Town Goerge Linde was the star with the bat for them as he got them to a competitive total of 158-8. He scored 63 off 28, including 4 4s and 5 6s at a strike rate of 225. Linde efforts were not enough as the MI Cape Town could not defend the total. The match did get close as it went right down to the last over of the match. 

The pitch was on the slower side, but the match was very entertaining as the battle between bat and ball was amazing to watch.

Pakistan vs Australia 2nd test Day 1 review

 Australia and Pakistan faced off in the second Test match at MSG. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first. The visitors started well with opening bowlers Shaheen Afridi and Mir Hamza getting the ball to move off the seam. However, the Australian batter struck back with a good opening partnership of 90 runs. Australia finished the day at 187/3 off 66 overs as rain played spoilsport, with Hasan Ali, Agha Salman and Aamer Jamal the pick of the bowlers. It was a tough day for the Pakistani bowlers as they struggled to cause Australian bowlers for long enough periods at a time, but they will look to bounce back on Day 2. The Australian batsman will be aiming to put up a big total for their bowlers to bowl too. Overall, it was an exciting day of Test cricket and fans can look forward to more action in the coming days.  Writer: Ebrahim Yusuf Omar
