Explosive Australia Whitewash Pakistan In The Final T20

Pakistan struggled with the bat and were bowled out for just 117 runs in 18.1 overs. The top order failed to provide a strong start, with Sahibzada Farhan scoring only 9 runs off 7 balls. Babar Azam was the only player to stand out, hitting 41 off 28 balls at a strike rate of 146.42, including four boundaries. Haseebullah Khan contributed 24 runs off 19 balls, but the rest of the batters couldn’t make an impact. The middle order collapsed as Usman Khan, Salman Agha, and Abbas Afridi managed only single-digit scores.

The lower order also struggled, except for Shaheen Afridi, who hit a quick 16 off 12 balls, including two fours and a six. Pakistan kept losing wickets regularly and couldn’t build partnerships. Aaron Hardie bowled brilliantly for the opposition, taking 3 wickets, while Adam Zampa and Matthew Johnson picked up 2 wickets each, dismantling Pakistan’s batting lineup.

Australia chased the target of 118 runs easily, reaching 118/3 in just 11.2 overs with a strong run rate of 10.41. Matthew Short fell early for 2 runs, caught off Shaheen Shah Afridi’s bowling. Jake Fraser-McGurk added a quick 18 off 11 balls with four boundaries before Jahandad Khan dismissed him. Captain Josh Inglis played a steady knock of 27 off 24 balls, hitting four boundaries.

Marcus Stoinis stole the show with an explosive 61 not out off 27 balls, smashing five fours and five sixes. Tim David supported him well, staying unbeaten on 7 off 3 balls, including a six.

Among Pakistan’s bowlers, Jahandad Khan impressed with 1 wicket for 17 runs in 3 overs. Shaheen Afridi also took a wicket but gave away 43 runs in his 3 overs. Abbas Afridi picked up 1 wicket for 14 runs in 1.2 overs. Despite some early wickets, Pakistan’s bowlers couldn’t stop the Australian batters, who won comfortably with 52 balls to spare.

With this win, Australia whitewashes Pakistan in the T20 series by winning 3-0 and ends the tour on a high after losing ODI series by 2-1. Marcus Stoinis was named Player Of The Match and Spencer Johnson, the Player Of The Series by taking 8 wickets.
