Australia beat Pakistan easily in the first match of the five-match one-day international cricket series by eight wickets on Friday (Mar 22), and take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

Pakistan, who were without their regular skipper Sarfraz Ahmed, scored a challenging 280/5 batting first. Chasing under lights, Australia reached the target with one over to spare. 

Shaun Marsh remained unbeaten on 91 while skipper Aaron Finch played a captain’s knock of 116.

Both the two teams will look at this series as a platform to begin preparation for their 2019 World Cup campaign. 

This will be the final 50-overs series for both the teams before the World Cup tournament begins on May 23.
