LAHORE: Opener Travis Head staged a remarkable return to one-day cricket with a fiery century Tuesday (Mar 29) to guide Australia to 313-7 in the opening day-night international against Pakistan in Lahore.
The first one-day international between Pakistan and Australia is being played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore and Pakistan have made their way back in the match courtesy some good fielding. After Travis Head gave the Aussies a strong start by scoring a 70-ball century, the hosts stormed back in the match courtesy their spin bowling trio, who were backed up by some excellent fielding.
Pakistan and Australia are at it again as both teams are squaring off in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Last week, Australia won the Test series 1-0 and now the visitors would be hoping to replicate the success in the white-ball leg. After being sent to bat, Australia got off to a fast start as they posted 100 runs inside the first 14 overs. However, Pakistan came back into the contest after dismissing skipper Aaron Finch in the 15th over of the innings.
Already depleted Australia lost Ashton Agar after the spinner tested positive Tuesday for Covid-19, hours ahead of the start of a three-match one-day international series against Pakistan in Lahore. Australia now have just 13 fit players from the original squad of 16 and another illness or injury would make it difficult for them to continue. "Team physiotherapist Brendon Wilson also tested positive," a statement from Cricket Australia said, ruling him and Agar out of the series.
Australia’s squad during their tour of Pakistan has been further depleted after Ashton Agar returned a positive COVID-19 test and will play no part in any of the four matches remaining.

Australia are currently seventh and Pakistan 10th, but both have played just three of their eight scheduled series. India have already qualified as hosts.

All five senior players were part of the team that won the three-match Test series 1-0 last week, on Australia's first tour of Pakistan in 24 years.
