Australia have crushed Pakistan by eight wickets in Sharjah, where Aaron Finch celebrated consecutive ODI centuries and Usman Khawaja extended his hot form. 9WWOS Cricket PAKvAUS
Finch and Khawaja have produced opening stands of zero, three, 63, 76, 83, 193 and 209 since coming together at the start of the recent tour of India.
Finch displayed some trademark aggression, hammering six sixes, but for the most part he and Khawaja kept the scoreboard ticking over with sensible singles. A couple of threatening bouncers from teenage debutant Mohammad Hasnain, who threatened to break the 150 km/h barrier, and a late run-out chance was the closest that Pakistan came to disturbing Finch's control during a 142-ball stay at the crease.
Cummins is likely to return in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, when Australia hunt an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series, although selectors may be tempted to give the spearhead another game off.
