The Aussies were never going to have trouble chasing a total in the low 200s in Adelaide. Even if Watson lost his wicket the Australian batting lineup is still far too deep to miss a total that low. Pakistan really needed to post something above 250.
The dropped catch on Watson was definitely the reason the game ended so lop sided though. Once he got settled in and became comfortable with the short ball it was game over.
The Windies and NZ is just starting. The Kiwis are at bat.
