Australia mauls Pakistan

NAIROBI SEPT. 4. Australia's fast bowlers blitzed Pakistan for the second time in less than a week to set up another lopsided victory in the fifth match of the PSO tri-nations tournament at the Nairobi Gymkhana on Wednesday.

Man-of-the-match Brett Lee snared four for 32 as Pakistan crumbled to 117 all out off 32.3 overs. New ball pair Glenn McGrath (three for 15) and Jason Gillespie (two for 33) caused the initial damage. Misbah-ul-Haq's 39 was the leading batting contribution. Australia raced to 121 for one off just 19.1 overs to win by nine wickets. In-form opener Matthew Hayden led the way with nine boundaries in a sparkling 59 not out off 48 deliveries.
