Muhammad Salman provided a much-needed breakthrough to the Pakistan blind cricket team by castling McCarthy, who could score 19 off 27 deliveries.

Besides the openers, none of the Australian batters could make it to the double figures.

Matiullah, Israr Hassan and Fakhar Abbas bagged two wickets each for Pakistan blind cricket team while Muhammad Salman and Muhammad Asif struck out a batter apiece.
