Pakistan vs Australia Test Series 2014 Schedule

Australia’s tour of Pakistan in UAE was a good one so far as they had registered wins in the T20 and the ODI series that was played in the tour. They had dominated the tour well and the last stage of the tour included two test matches Haier Cup. This was a series which included two test matches to be played in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

The 1st test match saw Pakistan winning the toss and batting first. The Pakistan didn’t get off to a good start in the 1st innings but the middle order controlled the game well for the team and brought them in a commanding position. Azhar Ali scored 53 runs while Younis Khan scored 106 runs and acted as an anchor for the team. Sarfraz Ahmed too scored a century and played a vital role in taking the 1st innings total to 454 runs. Mitchell Johnson took 3 wickets in the innings. The Australians started off their 1st innings well and the openers gave them a start of 128 runs for the 1st wicket. Chris Rogers scored 38 runs and was the 1st to lose his wicket. David Warner scored 133 runs in the innings and lost his wicket. Despite of the good start the middle order collapsed and hence the Australians ended their 1st innings at a score of 303. Yasir Shah took 3 wickets in the innings.

The 2nd innings saw Pakistan extend their lead as Ahmed Shehzad and Younis khan scored 131 and 103 runs respectively to take the 2nd innings score to 286. With this the Pakistan side set up a target of 438 runs. It was a huge target for the ineffective Australian batting line up. Chris Rogers scored 43 runs while David warner scored 29 runs.
