**Adelaide, Australia:** Pakistan has taken a dominant lead in the second One-Day International against Australia, with a blistering start in their chase of 262 runs. The visitors are currently 130/0 after 15 overs, with both openers, **Sam Ayub** and **Abdullah Shafique**, batting with aggression and precision.
Ayub, who reached his half-century off just 52 balls, has been particularly impressive, smashing 4 fours and 3 sixes. Shafique, meanwhile, is playing a supporting role with a well-crafted 32 runs.
Pakistan has maintained a healthy run-rate throughout the innings, consistently finding boundaries and keeping the pressure on the Australian bowling attack. **Pat Cummins** has been the pick of the bowlers for Australia, taking 0 wickets for 26 runs in his 5 overs.
The second ODI of the three-match series is being played at the Adelaide Oval, with Pakistan looking to secure a series win after their victory in the first ODI. The Australian team will need to regroup and find a way to contain the Pakistani batsmen if they want to stay in the series.
The match is still in its early stages, with plenty of cricket left to play. However, Pakistan’s strong start suggests they are in the driver’s seat, and a victory seems to be within their grasp.
