The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) continues to haunt Pakistan as they lost the first ODI against Australia by two wickets on Monday. This wasn’t the first time Pakistan fell agonizingly short at the historic MCG. During the 2022 T20 World Cup, Pakistan lost to India after Virat Kohli’s heroics, where he hit two match-winning sixes off Haris Rauf’s penultimate over. Later, in the final at the same venue, Pakistan fell to England. Pakistan speedster Haris Rauf, who bowled impressively in the opening ODI by dismissing Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, and Glenn Maxwell to turn the tide in Pakistan’s favor, lamented the missed chances at the MCG. “We have memories on this ground that we remember. We’ve lost a couple of very close matches here against India and also in the World Cup final,” Rauf told reporters after the match.
