Pakistan have finally got a win against Australia, thanks mainly to a sizzling 64 of just 31 balls from Umar Akmal. The youngster blasted 7 fours a 3 sixes in a knock that lated 43 minutes.
However it was not all sweet for Pakistan. They started off really badly losing Butt, Hasan and Kamran Akmal cheaply in the first few over. Umar Akmal then took charge along with Malik who contributed with a handy 23 and helped Pakistan post 167/8.
In reply, Australia made the worse possible start. Mohammad Aamer trapped opener Shane Watson for a duck, he was soon followed by captain Michael Clarke for 5. Warner provided some fight scoring 5 boundries in a row off Akthar, but it was all in vain.
The Aussies lost wickets at crucial stages and Pakistan slipped home to a 23 run win.
