**Sydney, Australia** – Australia is in a commanding position to win the ODI series against Pakistan, needing just 41 runs from 24.2 overs. However, the team faces questions about its opening batting, filling the void left by injured all-rounder Cameron Green, and the effectiveness of its backup fast bowlers.
Meanwhile, the West Australia Under-19 team secured a dominant victory, winning by an innings and 45 runs. The SP Under-19s also celebrated a win, securing a 5-wicket victory with 127 balls remaining, while the Gandaki U19s won by 2 wickets with 143 balls left on the clock.
Pakistan’s batting performance was notably weak, with no half-centuries from any of their batters. Rizwan managed the highest score of 44 runs. Babar Azam was dismissed after being bowled by Adam Zampa.
Australian captain Pat Cummins made his return to ODI cricket, stating it was “the final piece of information” he needed to make a confident comeback.
This exciting cricket action continues, with Australia on the verge of victory and several U19 teams celebrating their wins.
