00:00Hello and welcome to Qadhafi Stadium, Lahore.
00:28It is the Pankal Fala presents Vigotel Mobile T20 Series 20-26, second T20i.
00:38Pakistan yet again, they won the toss and they elected to bat.
00:43Wanting runs on the board, a few changes for Pakistan, three of them.
00:48Fahim, Osman Tarek and Naseem Shah come in but all eyes on the top three.
00:53Farhan didn't get any runs, sahim looked in fabulous touch, so did Salman Ali Yaga.
00:59Now batting first, you want to set the tone and that top three has to do so.
01:03Bauer at number four is causing a few ripples.
01:06Australia in a must-win situation.
01:09Yeah, they want to bounce back and all the big guns back in the side.
01:12Captain back at the opening slot with head.
01:15Cameron Green in the three.
01:16Josh Inglis as well, who is resting on the first game back in.
01:19Matt Renshaw also, big news, replaces Matt Short in the World Cup squad as well.
01:24So he gets a go.
01:25Cooper Conley as well, Short, Bartlett, Abbott back in the side.
01:28So three changes and Zampa who picked up four.
01:31Kuniman in there as well with the spin.
01:34And like you said, Baz, there should be a lot of spin doing the talking.
01:37First ball and he says play.
01:49A little bit of swing.
01:51Sabzadavran quickly runs away.
01:54He gets off the mark.
01:59Down the track.
02:00Pierces the offside.
02:02In the air, but lots of power.
02:07And he drills it down the ground.
02:12Two full.
02:13Now that has been absolutely smashed away.
02:20Backs away.
02:21Gets the length and just muscles it leg side.
02:25Four through mid-wicket.
02:31Goes reverse.
02:33And given.
02:35Doesn't work.
02:36Rashid Riyadh straight away raises a finger.
02:40Success for Australia.
02:42Not quite the length to play this shot.
02:44He gets in.
02:45Doesn't really get.
02:47The bat in line.
02:50There you see just clipping with the gloves.
02:51Straight into Inglis' gloves.
02:53And that is the end of Sabzadavran.
02:56Not in five in the two innings so far.
03:00Pakistan.
03:00One down for 17.
03:01Salman Ali Aga.
03:04At number three.
03:06And straight away down the track.
03:08Lifts it over mid-off.
03:11Shows his intent.
03:12And Sime hits it over the top.
03:18Plenty of space.
03:19One bounce.
03:20Couple of bounces into the fence.
03:22But he plays shots like this.
03:27And in the power play.
03:29You say there's always a gap when you go over the top.
03:37Backs away.
03:38That is a beautiful execution of the extra cover drive.
03:43That is some shot.
03:45Scrumptious six.
03:50And again.
03:51This time.
03:51Over the leg side.
03:52Little flick of the wrist.
03:55Rolls into the fence.
03:57This is fabulous batting.
03:59Through the offside.
04:06Through extra cover.
04:08Another boundary.
04:10Huge over.
04:17Starts off with a full toss.
04:20And the smash down the ground.
04:23And Pakistan reached 50 in just 4.1 overs.
04:26Down the track.
04:32Drifts down leg.
04:33Goes to the fence.
04:40Down the track.
04:41He flicks it away.
04:42And flicks it so well.
04:44That that has reached the crowd.
04:47Absolutely magnificent from the skipper.
04:50There for a reason.
04:51And he's showing them how it's done.
04:56Oh that is such a great shot.
04:58Six.
04:59So what's new?
05:05Out of the crease.
05:08Difficult really to judge and give.
05:10Quick through the air.
05:11At a pace.
05:12That last delivery.
05:15They're going to have a think over it.
05:16Yeah.
05:19They're going for it.
05:22Oregon DC are not out.
05:25Pitching in line.
05:25Impact in line.
05:28Wicket sitting.
05:29You need to reverse your DC on Rashid.
05:31Stand by.
05:34Ayub departs for 23.
05:36Pakistan now.
05:3772 for 2.
05:38Oh I think it's done.
05:44Gone.
05:46Played back.
05:47Straight ball.
05:48I think it's curtains for Barbara Azum.
05:50Fifth time Adam Zampa has got him out.
05:53Yeah tough challenge this for Barbara Azum.
05:56Because the bogeyman.
05:58Adam Zampa's on.
05:59Fifth time he's got him.
06:01And that looks absolutely plumb.
06:03Great move from Mitch Marsh.
06:05Getting Zampa into the action straight away.
06:08Pakistan now.
06:1076 for 3.
06:11As Barbara Azum departs for 2.
06:18That's a beautiful cut shot.
06:19He plays that win so well.
06:24Pakistan continue to flourish.
06:26They can get to 200.
06:28Swept.
06:30And that's gone for 6.
06:33What a shot that is.
06:34I mean.
06:35Jaw dropping stuff that.
06:38Slashed away.
06:42And into the gap.
06:43Brings up the 100 for Pakistan in fine fashion.
06:46And once again is flown off the bat of Salman Ali Agha.
06:52Into the leg side.
06:54How's that for placement?
06:55Absolutely spectacular.
06:58Back to back boundaries for the Pakistan skipper.
07:05Brilliant.
07:06Absolutely glorious.
07:07Belted away for 4.
07:08A little bit funky.
07:10A slight edge and through to the keeper.
07:18A quiet dismissal at the end.
07:20Salman Ali Agha is disappointed.
07:22But Sean Abbott strikes.
07:23And just one dot delivery which was a wide impelled him to take his chances.
07:38Slice of the face of the bat to the wicket keeper.
07:40But nevertheless a brilliant effort from Pakistani captain.
07:4476 from just 40 deliveries.
07:46Well maybe that is the magic of one touch.
07:56That is a touch Pakistan was looking for.
07:59Runs it right up.
08:00Remember that 6 definitely right out of the middle of Osman's bat.
08:03And he goes downtown and gets maximum.
08:13That is hit really hard.
08:16Brilliant connection.
08:21This is Shadab now.
08:23He launches this.
08:25Second 6 off the over.
08:27Well that's even better from Shadab.
08:33This time he gets hold of it and gets hold of it extremely well.
08:39That's into the crowd.
08:40That's another wonderful strike from Shadab Khan.
08:43Great power.
08:49Shadab belts it down the ground.
08:53And gets it straight and into the fence.
08:58Goes wide and is just carved away down to third.
09:02Yeah brilliantly played from Osman Khan.
09:05You give good players width and you pay the price.
09:10Bartlett's been hit down the ground and it's so well.
09:14Has gone to the fence.
09:16And Osman Khan.
09:18His second 50.
09:20Indeed 20 high cricket.
09:22And it's been fabulous.
09:24In terms of ball striking.
09:26Yeah it certainly has.
09:27It's been an impressive knock buzzard.
09:29Just 35 balls.
09:34Full toss.
09:35Drag leg side.
09:38Oh terrific catch.
09:40Matthew Shaw diving full length and keeping his composure.
09:44But an excellent knock from Osman Khan comes to an end.
09:48Wonderful effort out of deep mid wicket.
09:50It was dying on him.
09:51He made good ground and then right at the final moment.
09:56Diving forward nicely.
09:59Roughing his mitts around it.
10:01Taking it comfortably.
10:03And the dangerous Osman Khan departs.
10:06He goes for 53.
10:07Walks in first ball.
10:11Thumbs it away over extra.
10:13A couple of bounces into the fence.
10:17The ramp shot.
10:20And does well.
10:21Back to back boundaries.
10:22Whips it away leg side.
10:30They'll just be a single.
10:33So no 200.
10:34But an impressive 20 overs.
10:37With the back for Pakistan.
10:39Ends up 198 for 5.
10:42Fabulous knocks from Salman Aliaga.
10:45Osman Khan.
10:46Cameos from Shadab.
10:48And a couple of boundaries in the end from Nawaz.
10:50And that has meant that Pakistan have produced an imposing total.
10:55Pakistan winning the toss.
10:56Batting first.
10:57Farhan went early.
10:58Siam batted beautifully for his 23.
11:01But the star of this hole.
11:02Salman Aliaga.
11:0376 of 40.
11:05And then Osman Khan.
11:07He got to 53 of 36.
11:09Shadab 28 of 20.
11:11And Pakistan almost getting to 298 for 5.
11:16And the bowling.
11:17Well it suffered.
11:18Bartlett 1 for 52.
11:191 for 40.
11:21Pullman and Conley with the wicket.
11:23Zampa though.
11:244 overs.
11:251 for 27.
11:27So it'll be interesting when Australia come out to chase.
11:30They need 199 of their 20 overs.
11:33Edge and dropped.
11:43It's gone through for 4.
11:51Here he goes.
11:52Lofted.
11:54Into the fence for 4.
11:56Spoils the fun for Nassim Shah.
12:01Oh that's launched.
12:03Absolutely launched for 6.
12:08He was waiting on it.
12:10And that's gone all the way.
12:11It's terrific 6.
12:12He knows his area of strength.
12:18Oh close.
12:20That is close.
12:21And finger has gone up.
12:22It looked out.
12:24Didn't read the wrong gun.
12:26He kept on balling those leg spinners.
12:30Back of the length.
12:31Forced the batsman.
12:32On the back foot.
12:33This time around.
12:34Googly was flighted.
12:36Drew the batsman forward.
12:39Wasn't able to read it.
12:40The umpire did.
12:41And first blood drawn.
12:45Captain of Australia.
12:46Has been removed.
12:47Scored 18.
12:4822 for 1.
12:53Oh gone.
12:56A little too early into that pull shot.
13:00Travis Head feels that the ball did not bounce.
13:02But I think he misread it completely.
13:06Now went low.
13:09But he was looking to deliver that ball.
13:11And that's why it kept low.
13:13And once again.
13:14Didn't have any answer.
13:16For the spinners.
13:18Travis Head.
13:19He's been removed.
13:21Wicked number 2 for Pakistan.
13:24What a start.
13:25With the ball.
13:264 was the contribution.
13:2722 for 2.
13:32Ah.
13:33Beautiful.
13:34Really is a classy square drive.
13:37Weighted on the ball.
13:38And just allowed his wrists and arms.
13:40Do the rest.
13:47Give him.
13:49Abraar was so sure.
13:51That he got his man.
13:53He was clamoring.
13:55And finally.
13:56The umpire responded to his call.
13:57Original to see an out.
14:02Pitching outside of.
14:04Impacting line.
14:06Wicked's umpire's call.
14:08Essence stay with your original to see.
14:11Inglis is gone.
14:13Marginal.
14:14But the ump got it right in the end.
14:16Down the ground.
14:21That is a massive hit.
14:24He does have a lot of power.
14:26Does Green.
14:27This time backs away.
14:31He's not hit that too well.
14:33But it will almost go to the fence.
14:36On the full.
14:37There goes again.
14:42This time nails it.
14:45That is a 6-4-6.
14:49Brilliant from Green.
14:51He's picked his match up.
14:52And he's executing.
14:53Oh a little ramp shot.
14:58Huge appeal has given.
15:00Essence Raza reckons that is in front.
15:03Renshaw.
15:03Well he'll go upstairs.
15:06Original to see an out.
15:09Pitching outside of.
15:10Impacting line.
15:12Wicked's hitting.
15:13Stay with your original to see an Essence.
15:15Stand by.
15:17You're on screen.
15:18Please signal.
15:18Yeah good decision from Essence Raza.
15:20He was very confident.
15:21There was no bat.
15:23So Renshaw has to go.
15:24The ramp shot not working.
15:27Renshaw departs for two.
15:29And Australia now 53 for four.
15:33Bowling.
15:35Through the gap.
15:35The leg spinner.
15:37And Connolly.
15:39Knocked over.
15:41Yeah wonderful piece of bowling there from Shadab.
15:44And young Cooper Connolly be disappointed.
15:48One spun back nicely through the gate.
15:50Hits the top of middle and leg.
15:52Brilliant piece of bowling.
15:55Connolly departs for one.
15:57Australia now 54 for five.
16:02Rai at his first scalp of the evening.
16:06Shadab picks up a wicket.
16:07Cameron Green has been removed from the scene.
16:10That's a big blow.
16:12Really is.
16:13He's batting so well.
16:15All six wickets shared between the spinners.
16:18Touch wider.
16:19Very very slow.
16:21Cameron Green deciding to go the other way.
16:23Top edge straight to Shadab Khan.
16:25Simple catch.
16:26Simple take.
16:27Catching throughout both games has been excellent.
16:29Disappointed.
16:3335 tonight for Green.
16:3476 for six.
16:35It's a very good crowd here at Lahore.
16:39House full.
16:40Thank you Lahore.
16:41Says the big screen.
16:47Swept beautifully for four.
16:49Sounded great.
16:50And the result was a very impressive four.
16:57Yeah.
16:57Great six.
16:59In the slot.
17:00And it's gone all the way.
17:05That's gone up in the air.
17:07Barbara Azam had a great catching day the other night.
17:11He's taken a good one.
17:13Shadab picks up another wicket.
17:15Falling like nine pins now Australia.
17:18All coming together for Pakistan.
17:22Bartlett takes Shadab on again.
17:24Only.
17:26He has a toe end of the bat.
17:28Good catch by Barbara.
17:29Maybe got his foot stuck in as he ran in to catch that one.
17:33Bartlett disappointed but.
17:35It had to be the way for Australia.
17:37Fours and sixes.
17:38Given the fact the required rate is over 16.
17:41Bartlett 10 tonight.
17:42Australia 98 for seven.
17:44Oh.
17:47Gone Rangan.
17:49Play it on.
17:50It's working so well for Pakistan and Shadab in particular.
17:54Three now for him.
17:56Great rewards.
17:58For Shadab Khan.
17:59Back to back wickets now.
18:03Darts back in.
18:04Chops on onto the stumps.
18:05A short-lived stay for Rabbit.
18:08Very first delivery.
18:10Results in three wickets for Shadab.
18:12Back into Pakistan colors.
18:14Assisted with the other spinners around him for sure.
18:18Abbott but not tonight.
18:1998 for eight.
18:25Right.
18:25Barbara Azam is in business.
18:27Is he going to catch this one?
18:28Yeah.
18:28Takes it quite easily.
18:31Fifth catch in two games.
18:34Showing him the door.
18:35I don't know whether that is needed at this stage of the innings.
18:39At any stage of the innings.
18:44Pitching it wider outside the off-stump.
18:47Barbara Azam there.
18:48Rush steadied himself.
18:49And reverse cupped it quite nicely.
18:54Look decent for his 27.
18:56104 for the loss of nine now.
19:01Down the track.
19:02Edged and taken by the skipper.
19:04Fitting end with Salman Ali Yaga taking the catch.
19:07And Pakistan winning against Australia.
19:11Winning a series for the first time since 2018.
19:16It has been one impressive performance.
19:18A performance that will lead them to the World Cup with a lot of confidence.
19:23And quite convincingly, Pakistan won this series.
19:29Everybody chipped in.
19:32Middle order was getting a bit question mark.
19:36But this evening, they responded quite well.
19:41Through Usman and Shadab.
19:44Hugs around, congratulating each other for a series win.
19:50Batting was sublime on a surface which wasn't.
19:53As good as the batters made it look.
19:57And then the quality spinners did not allow Australia any respite whatsoever.
20:02Winning by 90 runs in a T20 game is a massive margin.
20:09Pakistani spinners doing the job.
20:11It was very hard for the Aussie batsmen to deal with.
20:15A bit of grip off the surface.
20:18Bundled out for just 108 runs.
20:21In the 16th over.
20:22Yeah, wicket for Saim.
20:25One for Nawaz.
20:26Three for Shadab.
20:27Two for Sman Tariq.
20:28With the pick.
20:29Number three overs.
20:32Three for 14.
20:33He's leader of the pack.
20:34And he's asserting himself every game.
20:38And on these type of surfaces,
20:40Pakistan have plenty of options.
20:42And that showed today.
20:43And they cleaned Australia up for 108.
20:47That means that Pakistan won the toss bat at first.
20:51198 for 5.
20:53Led by Salman Ali Agha.
20:5576 of 40.
20:57Hussman Khan 53 of 36.
20:59And then Australia never in the chase.
21:01Bowled out for 108.
21:02Abrar 3 for 14.
21:04Shadab 3 for 26.
21:06Hussman Tariq 2 for 16.
21:08Pakistan winning by 90.
21:10And winning the series 2-0.
