#2 Saqlain Mushtaq (5 for 29 against Australia, Adelaide)

Saqlain Mushtaq is the second Pakistani bowler to take a five-wicket haul in ODIs in Australia

Saqlain Mushtaq is the second Pakistani star to record a five-wicket haul in ODIs in Australia. He bamboozled the hosts Australia in the year of 1996 and helped his team to win the game by 12 runs.

In the first innings of the match, Pakistan scored 223 in 49.5 overs. Aamir Sohail, the left-handed opener, scored 67 for Pakistan which was their highest individual innings in the match.

While chasing the target of 224, Australia was dismissed for 211 in 47.5 overs. Steve Waugh struck 57, but his effort was not enough for Australia to avoid defeat.

Waqar Younis, the left-arm pace bowling superstar of Pakistan, took the first wicket in the match for Pakistan. Saqlain started taking wickets by sending Mark Taylor back to the pavilion. After that, he took the wickets of Steve Waugh, Tom Moody, Shane Warne and Ian Healy. He recorded six five-wicket hauls in his 169-match ODI career.
