00:00We bring you live action from the Qadhafi Stadium in Lahore for the Bank Al-Phila
00:29presents Vigotel Mobile T20 series, the third of the three match series.
00:36Pakistan has been relying on the spinners to win the game and the fastballers haven't
00:40got the opportunity to get a full exposure and it's good to see three paces featuring
00:46in this game and I hope they are utilized and see how they're going to win the games
00:51for Pakistan if the spinners have an off day.
00:54For Australia, quite a few changes, four of them, in come Marcus Toynes, his first game
00:59of the series, Mitch Owen, Josh Filipe comes back after missing out on one and Ben Dwashers
01:05who is also now part of the T20 World Cup squad in place of the injured Pat Cummins.
01:09Travis Head misses out, Mitch Marsh up the order and the spin from Adam Zampa will continue.
01:14Umpire calls play.
01:23No deep mid-wicket.
01:26That's brave.
01:31Oh, juicy full toss.
01:33A wild delivery from Kunahem and gets dispatched for four.
01:36First boundary for Pakistan.
01:40Goes again.
01:42This time cleaner, this time better.
01:44One bounce, four.
01:52And takes the bait.
01:55And is been removed.
01:58A captain went on a punt and it has paid off.
02:02Yeah, dangled the carrot and Fakhir Zaman decided to take it on.
02:05And the over had only gone for one.
02:09And doesn't quite get to the pitch of the ball with the ball turning away from short.
02:13Cameron Green with a great catch.
02:15Went a far long way up.
02:17Australia strike first.
02:18Fakhir Zaman goes for ten.
02:19Pakistan, fourteen for one.
02:22Pakistan skipper makes his way to the crease.
02:28And in a very skipper fashion, as he's done throughout,
02:32picks up a boundary straight away.
02:33goes into the gap.
02:42And it's a four.
02:49Brilliant.
02:51Exceptional timing.
02:52Skipping down the track.
02:53Back-to-back boundaries for Syme.
02:54Once again, dispatched.
03:02Thumbed away for four.
03:03Make that three in a row from Syme.
03:09All gone.
03:11Didn't pick that slow delivery.
03:13Worked for the left armour.
03:16Picked up a big wicket.
03:17112 km per hour.
03:21And swung through that way before the ball had arrived.
03:24It's Salman Ali Agha.
03:25Massive wicket in the context.
03:28A leading run scorer for Pakistan.
03:30The skipper has to depart.
03:32This occasion, just the five of three.
03:34Pakistan, 34 for two.
03:35Crunched.
03:43What a shot.
03:45And the Lahore crowd enjoy that because it is Baba Razum.
03:53Big shot.
03:55Splendid six.
03:56That's what you get from Syme Ayub.
03:58He cashed in immediately on a shorter length.
04:05That's gone through.
04:06The two fielders in the ring for four.
04:09Excellent piece of timing.
04:10And brilliant placement.
04:14Oh, yes.
04:17It has made it to the fence on the full.
04:20To the biggest part of the boundary.
04:23He is not going to miss out on such lollipops.
04:26In the slot.
04:30That's done.
04:31The distance.
04:33Yeah, not a great start from Adam Zampa.
04:35But Baba Razum with a lusty six.
04:42Gloved it.
04:44And that will find the fence as well.
04:51Oh, glorious cover drive.
04:53What a shot that is.
04:55Wow.
04:5650 for Syme.
04:58With an electrifying cover drive.
05:006.50 of just 30 balls.
05:04Well, this boy continues to impress.
05:06Gets it past the two men in the ring on the offside.
05:16That's gone and hit the fence very quickly.
05:18And he's tried his luck this time.
05:29Deep mid-wicket.
05:30Oh, brilliant.
05:32That is fabulous.
05:35Renshaw looks up to green and thinks, you should have got that.
05:39But that is a brilliant, brilliant catch.
05:41Not out of the middle towards a toe end.
05:46Went a long way up.
05:49Watch this from Renshaw.
05:50The sprint just glances over.
05:52Cameron Green not coming.
05:54He's got to go.
05:55And he holds on full end dive and the ball stays in the big mids as well.
06:00That is outstanding from Renshaw.
06:03And a great wicket.
06:05Expressions.
06:06Great camera work.
06:07That is spectacular.
06:10Top stop from Renshaw.
06:11Dismissing.
06:12Syme Ayoub for 56.
06:14Well made knock again.
06:16103 for 3.
06:17You know, 2 straight and just whipped away.
06:22He's very good.
06:23In that area, square leg.
06:262 fine leg.
06:31With those kinds of shots.
06:33That's into the crowd.
06:34Flat 6.
06:42That is fabulous.
06:43That is a glorious hit.
06:45That has gone a long, long way.
06:47Massive 6.
06:53That's the way he tries his hand again.
06:55Not this time.
06:58Caught by Matthew Short.
07:01Short and sweet from Nafi.
07:03He's walking back.
07:07Stands in the crease.
07:08Tries to go the distance.
07:12Simple catch to Short.
07:13Connolly strikes.
07:16Bajan Afid.
07:17Three boundaries.
07:1821 off his 12.
07:19Pakistan 131 for 4.
07:24Top edge.
07:26Oh, the keeper's head goes all the way for 4.
07:29It's the fast outfield here at Gaddafi Stadium.
07:32Boundary after 2 overs.
07:33In the slot.
07:38That's gone all the way for 4.
07:40Is it a 4?
07:40It's a 6, I think.
07:47Nicely timed.
07:49Beautifully timed.
07:50And Shadab is playing a cameo.
07:58That's hit in the air.
07:59Into the gap.
08:01And looks like it has gone all the way.
08:05Went very flat.
08:08Goes big again.
08:10It's another 6.
08:12Magnificent hitting.
08:13Really is flawless stuff.
08:20That's orbited.
08:22And it's out of here.
08:25Brilliant batting.
08:2750 partnership is raised.
08:28And that's a monster 6.
08:30Shadab into the 40s.
08:35Oh, how good is that?
08:37How cool is that?
08:39That's an incredible hit.
08:40That is an unbelievable 6.
08:48Edge.
08:49And well, the theatre comes to an end.
08:52It had to end.
08:54Just when he was on the cusp of something sensational.
08:58Had he hit that one over the fence.
09:00Would have been the second fastest 50 ever for Pakistan in T20Is.
09:05But crowds will happily take this.
09:0846 of 19 from Shadab.
09:11What a knock.
09:14Yeah.
09:16He moved outside the off stump to cut the angle on that occasion.
09:20But the baller saw that.
09:22Pushed it away.
09:23Got the edge.
09:24And Shadabhan has been sent back.
09:27What a very good score.
09:30Very good contribution.
09:31188 for 5.
09:35Slashed.
09:36And has enough strength to make it to the fence.
09:41And this will be taken.
09:50Held quite confidently, peacefully by Short.
09:53And it's no timing.
09:57No power.
09:59And also the bounce was steep.
10:00I wasn't able to control that stroke.
10:03But the fielder was.
10:04Held it nicely.
10:05A short stay.
10:08And came to an end.
10:11Goes for 5-1.
10:1294 for 6.
10:13Yeah.
10:14Get your phones out for the 50 moment.
10:22Oh, that's gone up in the air.
10:26And he survives it.
10:28Baba Razum.
10:29Gets the 50.
10:31To a loud cheer of the fence.
10:33And he's annoyed with himself.
10:38He was a lamb for him to capitalize.
10:40Couldn't make the most of it.
10:42Only a single.
10:43Which got him to his 50.
10:49Oh, that's wide and put away.
10:52Tremendous strike from Fahim Ashraf.
10:55And according to the umpire, it was a no ball.
10:58It was too high.
11:03Free hit is gloved into the boundary rope.
11:07It's not working for Australia.
11:09This is the first time Pakistan have posted a score of 200 or plus against Australia.
11:16Last ball.
11:17Is it hard?
11:18Baba Razum has ran the first one well.
11:21No, he slips.
11:23And so Pakistan end on a high.
11:26It's a terrific 207 for the loss of six.
11:30Everything worked out so well.
11:31They made changes.
11:33Made important calls.
11:35And so there's runs from the top order.
11:37And importantly, a 50 from Baba Razum at number four.
11:42Got to say something about the batting display here.
11:46Consistency at pace.
11:48Shadda played a gem.
11:5046 of just 19 balls.
11:5256 from Siamayou.
11:54Laid the platform.
11:55Baba Razum.
11:5650 of 36.
11:57At good pace.
11:58And showed his skills as a number four batsman.
12:01207 for the loss of six.
12:03Once again, it was misery for the Australian ballers.
12:09Couldn't find a way to ball on a surface like this.
12:12But bandwashers was impressive.
12:15Balled intelligently.
12:17Mixed those slow ones.
12:19With effect.
12:20I was able to pick up a couple of wickets.
12:22So that is what Australia have.
12:25208 runs of 20 overs at 10.4 not runs per over.
12:29Goals over the top.
12:40There is a field asset.
12:41Pretty square.
12:43Just gets a single.
12:49Pull him.
12:51Ball swings back in.
12:52Hits the timber.
12:54Shahin Shahfri.
12:55The first over.
12:56Strikes yet again.
12:57This is a beauty from Afridi.
13:01Full straight.
13:02And just tailing back in.
13:06And that's a disappointing end for the Australian skipper.
13:10He trudges off.
13:11Third ball for a one.
13:16And Australia.
13:18Two for one.
13:19This time it is floated up.
13:25Barbara Azam full tail.
13:27Gets it.
13:29He has been phenomenal.
13:32Sixth catch of the series.
13:34Noaz gets his man.
13:35Matt Short hangs his head.
13:40He knew straight away.
13:42Sliced it.
13:43A little bit inside out on the swing.
13:46And Barbara Azam.
13:47How good has he been out at either deep mid off or deep mid on later in the innings.
13:52Judging that to perfection.
13:54Pakistan's fielding has been excellent.
13:55The Short departs for two.
13:57Australia reeling at four for two.
13:59Bolems.
14:04The ramp shot doesn't work.
14:07And Chainshaw Freedy has another.
14:11Well, Renshaw can shake his head all he wants.
14:14That was a poor shot.
14:16He's taken a gamble.
14:17And paid the price.
14:19And once again, he got out like this the other night.
14:22Very difficult to trust the pace and the bounce of this particular wicket being a used wicket against a new ball.
14:30So a low percentage option.
14:32He pays the price.
14:34He departs for one.
14:36And Australia now 16 for three.
14:38Oh, that's powered through.
14:45Off the back foot.
14:46Just for once abroad.
14:47Dropping slightly short.
14:49So it gave Stoiners time.
14:53He's back again.
14:55And this time finds the gap on the offside.
14:58He's hit that extremely hard.
15:03Drifts down leg side.
15:05So that'll just race away to the fence.
15:10Adhafi Stadium once again.
15:12And once again, they find their home side on top of the game.
15:21Horizontal bat down the ground.
15:24Pierces the field.
15:32Once again, placement immaculate.
15:34Cameron Green picks up another boundary.
15:41Chopped on.
15:42Dragged on.
15:43End of Stoiners.
15:44Nawaz has to.
15:46Yeah, on a pitch like this.
15:48Where there is a grip on offer for the spinners.
15:51You cannot back away from leg stump that much.
15:55And to be able to force the ball with a lot of strength into the gap.
16:00Not for the first time, we have seen our batsmen getting out in a similar fashion.
16:07Stoiners scores for 23.
16:0960 for four, Australia.
16:13Ballman.
16:14That's a classic left-armer dismissal.
16:19Wide of the crease.
16:21Created a bit of angle.
16:23Had the batsmen.
16:25Looking to play the ball on the onside.
16:27Bit of turn.
16:28And offstump knocked back.
16:29That is an exceptional piece of left-arm spin bowling.
16:33Turn, drift.
16:34And it grips and turns and cleans up off stump.
16:38If you've got to learn how to do it, watch this on repeat.
16:41That is a great delivery.
16:43Spectacular stuff from Nawaz.
16:45Picking up his third wicket.
16:46An important one as well.
16:47Green goes for 22.
16:49Halfway mark in the stage.
16:50Australia 63 for five.
16:53Massive audience.
16:56The second consecutive full house here at Lahore.
16:58That's an exciting hit.
17:04One bounce over the fence.
17:12And, I mean, outstanding fielding.
17:16Sabzada Farhan not playing in this game.
17:19Picks up a very, very good catch.
17:21Running in, sliding.
17:23Four for Nawaz.
17:26The top edge from...
17:28Josh Filipe.
17:31And this is well caught by Farhan.
17:33Running in.
17:34Sliding.
17:35Losing his feet.
17:36But, good composure there.
17:39Never easy when they're square of the wicket.
17:41And the ball starts to dip and die at the end.
17:43So, Filipe departs for 14.
17:46And Australia now 82 for six.
17:51Oh, and I think finally.
17:54Has it worked for Pakistan?
17:55Is given him.
17:58That's the Pfeiffer for Mohamed Nawaz.
17:59What a great bowling spell.
18:02Nafe in the end.
18:04Making it happen for him.
18:05It really did spin a yard.
18:07Yeah, Connolly trying to use his feet.
18:10Nullify the spin.
18:12But look at this grip.
18:13It's turned and bounced and done him all hands up.
18:16And a great take.
18:17And stumping there.
18:21From Nuffay.
18:23Connolly departs for a duck.
18:25And Australia now 82 for seven.
18:29Oh, that's close.
18:30I think they'll go for a review.
18:34I think it's been given.
18:35Yeah, it's a straighter one.
18:36I think he's got reasons to feel elated.
18:40Abrar.
18:43Oh, they're going for a DRS.
18:44Original decision is out.
18:51Pitching in line.
18:53Impact in line.
18:54And wickets hitting.
18:57Naseh, I recommend you to stay with your decision.
19:01Owen goes for eight.
19:03Australia down and out.
19:0686 for eight.
19:06Round the wicket.
19:16Gone.
19:18The edge.
19:19And it is Fakhar Zaman at point.
19:23Nassim Shah into the surface.
19:27Teasing length catch from Fakhar Zaman.
19:29And that just might be the close of the game and the series.
19:32Australia 96 for nine.
19:37And that does mean Pakistan registered a three-nil series victory against Australia.
19:43Zampa.
19:45He hasn't come out to bat.
19:46So that is it.
19:48Pakistan completing a three-nil victory over Australia.
19:55It has been a superb performance.
19:58And they've by far been the better side in all three games.
20:03And he's been batting, bowling, fielding all three departments.
20:10Yeah, proceedings drawn to a close with a commanding victory.
20:14Three-nil series sweep.
20:16Only the third time in the history of T23 match series at Australia.
20:20Have been at the receiving end of a three-nil whitewash.
20:23And this is now twice that Pakistan has done it to them.
20:27Pakistan continue to go from strength to strength.
20:30Just three double figures in there.
20:32Green 22.
20:33Stoin is 23.
20:34And Felipe with 14.
20:36Australia being bundled out in just the 16.5 overs.
20:40Courtesy of excellent bowling from the entire group for Pakistan.
20:43Nawaz in there was prolific.
20:45Australia bowled out 96 in this third T20 eye.
20:48And Shahin Shah Freedy was good.
20:50Got the ball to swing.
20:51Got two for 16.
20:54A wicket for Abraar who's been excellent throughout the series.
20:56Nassim Shah had a good outing.
20:58One for 17.
20:59But the star of the show.
21:01Nawaz has been very good for Pakistan in the past year and a half.
21:05And he got us 5 for 18.
21:07Got the ball really tweaked.
21:09The lengths were superb.
21:11Pakistan winning by 111 runs.
21:14The margins of victories have just increased and increased throughout the series.
21:20207 for 6 Pakistan.
21:22God is always going to be a huge challenge considering the state of the pitch.
21:25Siam batted beautifully.
21:27Shahidah 46 of just 19.
21:30And then Australia bundled out 496.
21:33Courtesy of FIFA from Muhammad Nawaz.
21:355 for 18 in his four overs.
21:37Pakistan winning by 111.
21:40And winning the series 3-0.
