10 times both ODI openers scored a duck but the team still won

#3 Pakistan vs Australia, eighth Match, Carlton&United Series, 1996/97

Wasim Akram led Pakistan's fightback with a three-wicket haul

Batsmen dismissed: Aamir Sohail and Zahoor Elahi

Match Summary: Pakistan 149 all out (45.2 overs) defeated Australia 120 all out (41.3 overs) by 29 runs

The eighth match of the 1996/97 Carlton & United Series turned out to be a low-scoring thriller with Pakistan emerging victorious against the hosts despite being dismissed for a paltry 149 after winning the toss and batting first.

Pakistan lost both their openers - Aamir Sohail and Zahoor Elahi - as well as the No. 3 batsman, Ijaz Ahmed, for a duck before a half-century by Mohammad Wasim helped Pakistan recover to post a total their bowlers could have a chance to fight with and fight they did!

Wasim Akram was the main architect of Pakistan's victory with a miserly spell of 8-2-13-3 while Mohammad Zahid and a young Shahid Afridi picked up a couple of wickets each to dismiss Australia for just 120 runs.
