With this defeat, Pakistan바카라™s tour of Australia concludes with mixed results. The Men in Green made a powerful start by clinching the ODI series 2-1 against the 2023 World Cup winners, Australia. However, they failed to carry the momentum into the T20I series, where the Aussies responded emphatically, whitewashing Pakistan 3-0.
Australia claimed a 29-run win in a rain-shortened seven-overs-a-side match in the first T20 in Brisbane. Spencer Johnson then grabbed a career-best 5-26 to propel Australia to a 13-run win in the 2nd match.
On Monday, Stoinis smacked five sixes 바카라“ three in one over off Shaheen Shah Afridi -- and five fours as Australia raced to 118-3 in 11.2 overs. Fast bowlers Shah Afridi (1-43) and Haris Rauf (0-34) conceded 77 runs off their combined six overs in a one-sided game.
A surprising name missing in the playing XIs of Pakistan was its captain Mohammad Rizwan who rested today. Salman Agha led the team in his absence.
Haseebullah replaced regular Rizwan and found a good partnership with Babr Azam and made a promising start with 58/1 in the powerplay, their highest powerplay score against Australia in T20Is, surpassing their previous best of 56/0 in Lahore (2022).
Azam looked in sublime touch during his 41 off 28 balls, which included four boundaries. He also surpassed Virat Kohli's Indian tally of 4,188 runs in T20s and moved up to second place with 4,192 in 126 games. Rohit Sharma leads the way with 4,231 in 159 matches.
However, Australia바카라™s bowlers quickly turned the tide. Aaron Hardie (3-21) removed Sydney Usman Khan when he holed out at deep cover for three, while Salman played across the line against the fast bowler and was out leg before.
Shah Afridi smashed two fours and a six in his quickfire 16 and helped Pakistan cross the 100-run mark. Australia's player of the series Johnson (2-24) wrapped up the innings by clean bowling No. 11 Sufiyan Muqeem.
The T20Is exposed Pakistan's frailties with the bat, as they struggled to put up competitive scores throughout the series. Notably, Pakistan are still searching for their first T20I win against the Aussies on the Australian soil.
Now, Australia will prepare to host India for the iconic Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a historic Test series between India and Australia. Meanwhile, Pakistan will gear up for their upcoming tour of Zimbabwe, where they will play a three-match ODI and T20I series
