Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the remainder of the white-ball series in Pakistan with a hip injury.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam showed glimpses of his class on Tuesday as he scored a measured 57 against Australia in the 1st ODI at Lahore.

Kolkata Knight Riders' assistant coach Abhishek Nayar is impressed with the way Shreyas Iyer is leading the team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Nayar, who has been with the KKR franchise for a while, heaped praise on the 27-year-old Shreyas and compared his captaincy style to that of India and Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma. The Shreyas Iyer-led KKR team began their IPL 2022 campaign on a high, with a big win vs defending champions Chennai Super Kings in the tournament opener on March 26. "In terms of personality traits, Shreyas is very much similar to Rohit Sharma. He is just like Rohit in terms of his personality, in terms of being easy-going, in terms of empowering the cricketers. He empowers the players to play the style of game they want to play," Nayar said in response to a question by TimesofIndia.com in a media interaction.

Alex Carey had a disappointing showing with the bat during Australia's first ODI against Pakistan at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, on Tuesday. Carey could only muster four runs off four balls, before losing his wicket to Zahid Mahmood in dramatic fashion. In the second delivery of the 40th over, Carey received a full toss and tried to reverse-sweep it but he failed to connect as the ball went around his legs and smashed the stumps.
In the first ODI between Pakistan and Australia at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, the hosts displayed great agility and athleticism to inflict dismissals. Australia got off to a tremendous start after openers Aaron Finch and Travis Head put on 100 runs inside 15 overs. However, Pakistan stormed back into the contest after they took wickets in quick succession and Mohammad Wasim Jr's agility helped in inflicting a run-out and as a result, Ben McDermott was sent back to the pavilion.
