00:00Hello and welcome to Gaddafi Stadium Lahore. It is the Pankal Fala presents Vigotel Mobile T20 Series 2026. Second T20i. Pakistan yet again they won the toss and they elected to bat wanting runs on the board. A few changes for Pakistan.
00:22Three of them. Fahim, Usman Tarek and Nassim Shah come in but all eyes on the top three. Farhan didn't get any runs. I looked in fabulous touch. So did Salman Ali Aga. Now batting first you want to set the tone and that top three has to do so. Bauer at number four is causing a few ripples. Australia in a must win situation.
00:44Yeah they want to bounce back and all the big guns back in the side. Captain back at the opening slot with head. Cameron Green in the three. Josh Inglis as well who is resting on the first game back in. Matt Renshaw also big news. Replaces Matt Short in the World Cup squad as well. So he gets a go. Cooper Conley as well. Short, Bartlett, Abbott back in the side. Three changes. And Zampa who picked up four. Kuniman in there as well with the spin. And like you said Baz there should be a lot of spin doing the talking.
01:14First ball and he says play. First ball and he says play. Little bit of swing. Sabzada Vran quickly runs away. He gets off the mark. Down the track. Pierces the offside. In the air but lots of power.
01:44And he drills it down the ground. Two full. Now that has been absolutely smashed away.
01:54Backs away. Gets the length and just muscles it leg side. Four through mid wicket.
02:01Goals reverse. And given. Doesn't work.
02:12Rashid Riyadh straight away raises a finger. Success for Australia.
02:16Not quite the length to play this shot. Deep catching. Doesn't really get. Pat in line.
02:25There you see just clipping the gloves. Straight into Inglis' gloves. And that is the end of Sabzada Vran.
02:31Not in five in the two innings so far. Pakistan one down 17.
02:36Salman Ali Aadha. At number three. And straight away. Down the track. Lifts it over mid off.
02:46Shows his intent.
02:50And Sain hits it over the top. Plenty of space.
02:55One bounce. Couple of bounces into the fence.
03:00But he plays shots like this. And in the power play.
03:04You say there's always a gap when you go over the top.
03:12Backs away. That is a beautiful execution of the extra cover drive.
03:18That is some shot. Scrumptious six.
03:25And again. This time. Over the leg side. Little flick of the wrist.
03:30And rolls into the fence. This is fabulous batting.
03:34Through the offside. Through extra cover. Another boundary. Huge over.
03:52Sarts off with a full toss. And the smash down the ground.
03:58And Pakistan reached 50. And just 4.1 overs.
04:06Down the track. Drifts down leg. Goes to the fence.
04:15Down the track. He flicks it away. And flicks it so well. That that has reached the crowd.
04:22Absolutely magnificent from the skipper. There for a reason. And he's showing them how it's done.
04:31Oh that is such a great shot. Six. So what's new?
04:42Out of the crease. Difficult really to judge and give.
04:45Quick through the air. At a pace. That last delivery.
04:50They're going to have a think over it.
04:54Yeah. They're going for it.
04:55All you need to see. You're not out.
04:59Catching in line. Impact in line.
05:02Wicket sitting. You need to reverse your decision.
05:05Rashid. Standby.
05:08Ayoub departs for 23.
05:11Pakistan now. 72 for 2.
05:13Oh. I think it's done. Gone.
05:21Played back. Sweat ball.
05:23I think it's curtains for Barbara Azam.
05:26Fifth time. Adam Zampa has got him out.
05:28Yeah. Tough challenge this for Barbara Azam.
05:31Because the bogeyman. Adam Zampa's on.
05:34Fifth time he's got him. And that looks absolutely plumb.
05:38Great move from Mitch Marsh.
05:40Getting Zampa into the action straight away.
05:43Pakistan now. 76 for 3.
05:46As Barbara Azam departs for 2.
05:53That's a beautiful cut shot.
05:54He plays that win so well.
05:59Pakistan continue to flourish.
06:01They can get to 200.
06:04Sweat.
06:04And that's gone for 6.
06:08What a shot that is. I mean.
06:10Jaw-dropping stuff that.
06:15Slashed away.
06:16And into the gap.
06:18Brings up the 100 for Pakistan in fine fashion.
06:21And once again is flown off the bat of Salman Aliaga.
06:28Into the leg side.
06:29How's that for placement?
06:30Absolutely spectacular.
06:33Back-to-back boundaries for the Pakistan skipper.
06:40Brilliant.
06:41Absolutely glorious.
06:42Belted away for 4.
06:49A little bit funky.
06:50A slight edge and through to the keeper.
06:53A quiet dismissal at the end.
06:55Salman Aliaga is disappointed.
06:57But Sean Abbott strikes.
06:58And just one dot delivery, which was a wide, impelled him to take his chances.
07:13Slice of the face at the back to the wicked keeper.
07:16But nevertheless, a brilliant effort from Pakistani captain.
07:1976 from just 40 deliveries.
07:21That is the magic of one-touch.
07:26Well, maybe that is the magic of one-touch.
07:31That is a touch Pakistan was looking for.
07:34Runs it right up.
07:35Remember that 6 definitely right out of the middle of Osman's bat.
07:38And he goes downtown and gets maximum.
07:48That is hit really hard.
07:51Brilliant connection.
07:52This is Shadab now.
07:58He launches this.
08:00Second six off the over.
08:02Well, that's even better from Shadab.
08:05This time he gets hold of it and gets hold of it extremely well.
08:14That's into the crowd.
08:15That's another wonderful strike from Shadab Khan.
08:18Great power.
08:24Shadab belts it down the ground.
08:27And gets it straight and into the fence.
08:34Goes wide and is just carved away down to third.
08:37Yeah, brilliantly played from Osman Khan.
08:40You give good players width and you pay the price.
08:46Bartlett's been hit down the ground and hit so well.
08:49That's gone to the fence.
08:51And Osman Khan, his second 50 in deep 20 high cricket.
08:57And it's been fabulous in terms of ball striking.
09:01Yeah, it certainly has.
09:02It's been an impressive knock, Bazard.
09:04Just 35 balls.
09:09Now full toss.
09:10Drag leg side.
09:13Oh, terrific catch.
09:15Not too short.
09:16Diving full length and keeping his composure.
09:19But an excellent lock from Osman Khan comes to an end.
09:23Wonderful effort out of deep mid-wicket.
09:25It was dying on him.
09:27He made good ground and then right at the final moment.
09:32Diving forward nicely.
09:34Roughing his mitts around it.
09:36Taking it comfortably.
09:37And the dangerous Osman Khan departs.
09:41He goes for 53.
09:45Walks in.
09:46First ball.
09:46Thumbs it away over extra.
09:49Couple of bounces into the fence.
09:50The ramp shot.
09:54And does well.
09:56Back-to-back boundaries.
10:02Whips it away leg side.
10:03They'll just be a single so no 200 but an impressive 20 overs with the bat for Pakistan.
10:14Ends up 198 for 5.
10:17Fabulous knocks from Salman Ali Agha, Osman Khan cameos from Shadab and a couple of boundaries in
10:24the end from Nawaz and that has meant that Pakistan have produced an imposing total.
10:29Pakistan winning the toss.
10:31Batting first.
10:32Farhan went early.
10:33Saheem batted beautifully for his 23.
10:35But the star of the show, Salman Ali Agha, 76 of 40.
10:40And then Osman Khan, he got to 53 of 36.
10:43Shadab, 28 of 20.
10:46And Pakistan almost getting to 298 for 5.
10:51And the bowling, well it suffered.
10:53Bartlett, 1 for 52, 1 for 40.
10:56And Conley with the wicket.
10:58Zampa though, 4 overs, 1 for 27.
11:02So it'll be interesting when Australia come out to chase.
11:05They need 199 of their 20 overs.
11:10It's gone through for 4.
11:26Here he goes.
11:27Lofted into the fence for 4.
11:31Spoils the fun for Nasim Shah.
11:33Oh, that's launched.
11:38Absolutely launched for 6.
11:43He was waiting on it and that's gone all the way.
11:46It's terrific 6.
11:48He knows his area of strength.
11:50Oh, close.
11:55That is close and finger has gone up.
11:57It looked out.
11:59Didn't read the wrong end.
12:01He kept on bowling those leg spinners.
12:05Back of the length.
12:06Forced the batsman on the back foot.
12:08This time around, Googly was flighted.
12:12Drew the batsman forward.
12:14Wasn't able to read it.
12:15The umpire did.
12:17And first blood drawn.
12:19Captain of Australia has been removed.
12:22Scored 18.
12:2322 for 1.
12:28Oh, gone.
12:31A little too early into that pull shot.
12:35Trevis hip feels that the ball did not bounce.
12:37But I think he misread it completely.
12:41Now went low.
12:44But he was looking to deliver that ball.
12:46That's why it kept low.
12:48And once again, didn't have any answer.
12:52Now for the spinners.
12:53Trevor said, he's been removed.
12:56Wicked number 2 for Pakistan.
12:59What a start with the ball.
13:014 was the contribution.
13:0222 for 2.
13:07Ah, beautiful.
13:09Really is a classy square drive.
13:12Weighted on the ball and just allowed his wrists
13:15and arms do the rest.
13:23Given.
13:24Apar was so sure
13:27that he got his man.
13:28He was clamoring.
13:30And finally, the umpire responded to his call.
13:32Golden DC on out.
13:38Fitching outside of.
13:39Impacted line.
13:41Wicked's umpire's call.
13:42Essence, stay with your Golden DC.
13:46Inglis is gone.
13:48Marginal.
13:50But the ump got it right in the end.
13:51Down the ground.
13:56That is a massive hit.
13:59He does have a lot of power, does Green.
14:02This time backs away.
14:06He's not hit that too well.
14:09But it will almost go to the fence on the full.
14:15That goes again.
14:17This time nails it.
14:20That is a 6-4-6.
14:22Yeah, brilliant from Green.
14:26He's picked his match up.
14:27And he's executing.
14:32Oh, a little ramp shot.
14:33Huge appeal has given.
14:35Essence, rather, reckons that is in front.
14:37We're in short.
14:38Well, he'll go upstairs.
14:41Original DC on out.
14:44Fitching outside off.
14:45Impacted line.
14:47Wicket's hitting.
14:48Stay with your Original DC on Essence.
14:50Stand by.
14:50You're on screen.
14:53Please signal.
14:53Yeah, good decision from Essence Raza.
14:55He was very confident.
14:56There was no bat.
14:58So Renshaw has to go.
14:59The ramp shot not working.
15:02Renshaw departs for two.
15:04And Australia now 53 for four.
15:08Bowling.
15:10Through the gap.
15:10The leg spinner.
15:12And Conley knocked over.
15:16A wonderful piece of bowling there from Shadab.
15:18And young Cooper Connelly be disappointed.
15:23One spun back nicely through the gate.
15:25Hits the top of middle and leg.
15:27Brilliant piece of bowling.
15:30Connelly departs for one.
15:32Australia now 54 for five.
15:34One spun back.
15:37Ryan his first scalp of the evening.
15:41Shadab picks up a wicket.
15:42Cameron Green has been removed from the scene.
15:45That's a big blow.
15:47Really is.
15:48He's batting so well.
15:50All six wickets shared between the spinners.
15:53Touch wider.
15:54Very, very slow.
15:56Cameron Green deciding to go the other way.
15:58Top edge straight to Shadab Khan.
16:00Simple catch, simple take.
16:02Catching throughout both games has been excellent.
16:07Disappointed.
16:0835 tonight for Green.
16:0976 for six.
16:10It's a very good crowd here at Lahore.
16:14House full.
16:15Thank you, Lahore.
16:16Says the big screen.
16:22Swept beautifully for four.
16:24Sounded great.
16:25And the result was a very impressive four.
16:32Yeah.
16:33Great six.
16:34In the slot.
16:34And it's gone all the way.
16:36That's gone up in the air.
16:42Barbar Azam had a great catching day the other night.
16:45He's taken a good one.
16:48Shadab picks up another wicket.
16:50Falling like nine pins now, Australia.
16:53All coming together for Pakistan.
16:57Martlett takes Shadab on again.
16:59Only.
17:01He has a toe end of the bat.
17:02Good catch by Barbar.
17:04Maybe got his foot stuck in.
17:06As he ran in to catch that one.
17:08Bartlett disappointed.
17:10But it had to be the way for Australia.
17:12Fours and sixes.
17:13Given the fact the required rate is over 16.
17:16Bartlett 10 tonight.
17:17Australia 98 for seven.
17:22Oh, gone Rangan.
17:24Played on.
17:25It's working so well for Pakistan and Shadab in particular.
17:29Three now for him.
17:30Great rewards for Shadab Khan.
17:34Back to back wickets now.
17:38Darts back in.
17:39Chops on onto the stumps.
17:40A short-lived stay for Rabbit.
17:43Very first delivery.
17:45Results in three wickets for Shadab.
17:47Back into Pakistan colors.
17:49Assisted with the other spinners around him for sure.
17:51Habit but not tonight.
17:5498 for eight.
18:00Right.
18:00Barbar Azam is in business.
18:02Is he going to catch this one?
18:03Yeah.
18:03Takes it quite easily.
18:05Fifth catch in two games.
18:09Showing him the door.
18:10I don't know whether that is needed at this stage of the innings.
18:14At any stage of the innings.
18:20Pitching it wider outside the offstum.
18:22Barbar Azam there.
18:23Rush steadied himself.
18:25And reverse cut it quite nicely.
18:29Look decent for his 27.
18:31104 for the loss of nine now.
18:36Down track edge and taken by the skipper.
18:39Fitting end with Salman Ali Yaga taking the catch.
18:42And Pakistan winning against Australia.
18:46Winning a series for the first time since 2018.
18:51It has been one impressive performance.
18:53A performance that will lead them to the World Cup with a lot of confidence.
19:00And quite convincingly Pakistan won this series.
19:05Everybody chipped in.
19:07Middle order was getting a bit question mark.
19:10But this evening.
19:14They responded quite well.
19:16Through Usman.
19:17And Shadab.
19:19Hugs around.
19:20Congratulating each other.
19:23For a series win.
19:25Batting was sublime on a surface which wasn't.
19:28As good as the batters made it look.
19:31And then the quality spinners did not allow Australia any respite whatsoever.
19:37Winning by 90 runs in a T20 game is a massive margin.
19:44Pakistan is doing the job.
19:46It was very hard for the Aussie batsmen to deal with.
19:50A bit of grip off the surface.
19:52And bundled out for just 108 runs.
19:55In the 16th over.
19:58Yeah.
19:58Wicked for Saim.
20:00One for Nawaz.
20:01Three for Shadab.
20:02Two for Sman Tariq.
20:03With the pick.
20:04Number three overs.
20:07Three for 14.
20:08He's leader of the pack.
20:09And he's asserting himself every game.
20:13And on these types of surfaces.
20:15Pakistan have plenty of options.
20:17And that showed today.
20:20Cleaned Australia up for 108.
20:22That means that Pakistan won the toss bat at first.
20:26198 for five.
20:28Led by Salman Ali Agha.
20:3076 of 40.
20:32Husman Khan.
20:3253 of 36.
20:34And then Australia never in the chase.
20:36Bowled out for 108.
20:38Abrar three for 14.
20:39Shadab three for 26.
20:41Husman Tariq.
20:42Two for 16.
20:43Pakistan winning by 90.
20:45And winning the series.
20:46Two not.
