Pakistan had a tough day on the pitch, their bowlers couldn't get the openers early, dropped important catches and their middle order just collapsed. But the major positives of the day was Mohammad Amir's bowling and Wahab Riaz's surprise cameo. The Twitterati showered praises on Riaz's efforts.
Brief scores: Australia 307/10 in 49 overs (David Warner 107, Aaron Finch 82; Mohammad Amir 5-30, Shaheen Afridi 2-70) beat Pakistan 266/10 in 45.4 overs (Imam-ul-Haq 56, Mohammad Hafeez 46; Pat Cummins 3-33, Mitchell Starc 2-43) by 41 runs
What a gem of a player for Pakistan!
Wahab Riaz is a fighter, Never seen him giving up always gives 100% irrespective of the situation.

Me :
A surprise but a welcome one!
Wahab Riaz is playing innings of his life. A massive upset is on cards. Australia looking clueless and Pakistan nudging towards target non-chalantly.

What a match it has turned out to be.
Indeed!
Wahab Riaz is a total different person when the opposition is Australia.

Well played man

Wahab Riaz.... irrespective of the end result, much respect for that tremendous knock 👌🏻
— Ifham Mirza (@Ifhaam_m1)
Truthbomb!
Was it Australia Vs Pakistan or Australia Vs Wahab Riaz/Mohammed Aamir?
— Pratik Bhoir (@PratikMBhoir)
So this was the reason why Pakistan lost!
I think I've been really unlucky for Pakistan today. Every time I opened my Cricinfo app to check the score, Pakistan lost a wicket- First Babar Azam then Mohd Hafeez then Hasan Ali and now Wahab Riaz.
