Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat scoring 290 in their allotted 50 overs with Salim Elahi and Mohammad Yousuf (then Yousuf Youhana) leading the scorecard with 79 and 44 respectively.
However, the real highlight of the match was watching an in form Waqar Younis who had recently taken 7 wickets against England. He continued where he left off picking up 6 wickets in the innings and becoming the sole reason for Australia registering their only defeat in that tournament.
In his very first over, Waqar Younis got the prize wickets of Mark Waugh and Matthew Hayden. A few overs later, he dismissed Michael Bevan to leave Australia at 35/3. Although Australia kept up with the scoring rate, they kept losing wickets at regular interval. Coming back into the attack, Waqar Younis got the prize wickets of Steve Waugh and Andrew Symonds in the same over and helped Pakistan seal the match comfortably in the end by 36 runs.
Commentary on Waqar's six wickets.
