Ellis stars as Australia level series against Pakistan

Pace bowler Nathan Ellis led Australia to a 41-run victory over Pakistan in the second ODI, taking 4-33 to dismiss the hosts for 190 and level the series in Lahore. The Sydney-born quick made early inroads, removing opener Maaz Sadaqat for a duck and then dismissing dangerous Pakistan captain Babar Azam for just 16, leaving the hosts struggling from the outset. rocore.sbs

Australia's total of 232, built largely thanks to contributions from Josh Inglis and Cameron Green, proved too much for Pakistan's batting lineup. The victory ensures the series is tied at 1-1 heading into the decisive third match.
