SHARJAH (Dunya News/Agencies) – With a seemingly careful batting inning, Australia on Tuesday set 256 run target for Pakistan in a one day international match with Pakistan, Dunya News reported.
The inning ended with Australia scoring 255 runs with the loss of 8 wickets in 50 overs.
According to the detail, Smith’s glorious 101 score took Aussies towards setting the target.
Smith, who didn t even score a half century in his previous 38 ODIs, made a resolute 101 off 118 balls with six fours and two sixes after captain George Bailey won the toss and elected to bat first.
The all-rounder was involved in an 86-run second-wicket stand with David Warner (43) before holing out in the deep in the 45th over.
Shahid Afridi finally ended his six-match wicketless run in ODIs and bagged 3-46 to make up somewhat for the loss of suspended Saeed Ajmal and injured Mohammad Hafeez.
Mitchell Johnson (21) lifted the total by hitting three successive boundaries in Wahab Riaz s last over of the innings.
