Australia vs Pakistan 1st ODI: Pat Cummins gets the key wicket of Kamran Ghulam; watch

Australia started their ODI series against Pakistan with a comprehensive victory, defeating them by 7 wickets in the first match of the three-ODI series at the Adelaide Oval on Tuesday.

Chasing a target of 221 runs, Australia rode on the back of fifties from David Warner (56) and Marnus Labuschagne (52) to complete the chase in 37.5 overs. Earlier, Australia skipper Pat Cummins' stunning delivery to dismiss Pakistan opening batter Kamran Ghulam was the highlight of Pakistan's innings. Cummins bowled a sharp delivery that swung late to beat Ghulam's defense and rattle his stumps.

Cummins' delivery left Ghulam clueless

The incident took place in the fourth over of Pakistan's innings. Cummins ran in hard and delivered a good-length ball to Ghulam that swung late and moved away from the batter. The ball caught the outside edge of Ghulam's bat and crashed into the stumps, leaving him clueless about what had happened.

The dismissal gave Australia an early breakthrough and put Pakistan under pressure. The visitors never really recovered from the loss of Ghulam's wicket and were eventually bowled out for 220 in 49.4 overs. Cummins was the pick of the Australian bowlers, finishing with figures of 3 for 33 in his 10 overs, while Mitchell Starc and Adam Zampa picked up two wickets apiece.
