Shinwari claimed all his wickets in a 21-ball spell to dismiss Sri Lanka for 103 in only 26.2 overs. Fakhar Zaman (48) and Imam-ul-Haq (45 no) then eased to 105-1 in 20.2 overs to cap Pakistan’s string run in the ODIs in 2017 that began in June when it won the Champions Trophy. Sri Lanka’s poor run in limited-overs continued this year under captain Upul Tharanga. South Africa and India had earlier routed Sri Lanka 5-0 and the coun- try has now lost 12 ODIs in a row. Shinwari, playing in only his second ODI, claimed four of his wickets in his first two overs before adding one more to make Sri Lanka 20-5. “It wasn’t easy, but the environment of the team is as such that it gives you a lot of confi- dence,” said Shinwari, who made his ODI debut on Friday in the fourth game of the series. “It was my sec- ond game and I thought hard about it.” The last wicket pair of Dushmantha Chameera (11) and Vishwa Fernando (7) took Sri Lanka beyond the 100-run mark before No.1-ranked fast bowler Hasan Ali finished off with 2-19 by clean bowling Chameera.

Warner and newcomer Bancroft got the required runs in a 173-run opening stand to smash an 87-year-old record for the all-time highest unbeaten opening partnership in a suc- cessful Test chase.

It was the seventh time Australia had vanquished England by 10 wickets in the Ashes and leaves the home side unbeaten at their Gabba fortress in 29 years. “The first Test of an Ashes is very important, there was a bit of pressure but I’m really pleased with how we played,” Australian skipper Steve Smith said. “The way we pulled it back to win from the position we were in, it’s extremely pleasing.
