Watch Pakistan Vs. Australia Cricket 5th ODI Live Stream: Start Time, Pakistan Looks To Avoid Whitewash
Even a rare pair of centuries could not rescue a Pakistan chase that fell apart in the final five overs in the fourth one-day international match against Australia on Friday, as ESPN reported. The loss left the hosts now facing the serious possibility of a whitewash before heading to England for one last five-match ODI series before the start of the 2019 Cricket World Cup. But for Australia — the defending champions and winners of four of the last five World Cup tournaments — Sunday’s match will be their last before the World Cup, and they can head into the tournament not only on an eight-game winning streak, but knowing that they have yet to field their strongest team. They go for the whitewash in the game that will live stream from Dubai.

Despite the six-run defeat in the fourth ODI, Pakistan could take some hopeful signs, as Abid Ali recorded 112 to set a team record for runs on an ODI debut, to go with a 104 from Mohammad Rizwan. But their sparkling innings were not supported by their teammates, who combined for a mere 55 runs among them, with opener Shan Masood bowled for a duck as particular lowlight, as CricInfo reported.
