0.6 : 0.6: Shaheen Afridi to Jake Fraser-McGurk, Six! |
1.1 : 1.1: Naseem Shah to Matthew Short, SIX! Bang! Take that. Over the fence. What a start this is for the Aussies! On middle. Shorter. Short stands tall and pulls this one over the square leg fence. That's bread and butter for Short. He just loves that length. Pakistan under massive pressure here. |
1.3 : 1.3: Naseem Shah to Matthew Short, Four! |
2.1 : 2.1: Shaheen Afridi to Matthew Short, Six! |
2.3 : 2.3: Shaheen Afridi to Matthew Short, FOUR! In the gap! That was off the splice but still a boundary! On middle. Short looks to pull. This goes off the splice wide of deep mid-wicket. Another boundary. |
3.4 : 3.4: Haris Rauf to Jake Fraser-McGurk, OUT! Taken! Number one down! Pakistan needed that! These two were going at a very good pace. Rauf it is yet again who provides the break through. A short one outside off. Jake Fraser-McGurk makes room and looks to slap it over the off side. It goes off the toe end. The fielder at cover tracks back and takes it nicely. Can they get better control of things now? |
3.6 : 3.6: Haris Rauf to Josh Inglis, OUT! c Sufiyan Muqeem b Haris Rauf. |
4.6: Abbas Afridi to Matthew Short, OUT! TIMBER! Number three down! Abbas Afridi strikes and the dangerous Short walks back. A slower one on middle. Stays low and also comes slow off the surface. Short looks to go big down the ground but is through the short early and this hits the stumps. Pakistan have come back strongly into the game. |
7.4 : 7.4: Sufiyan Muqeem to Glenn Maxwell, Four! |
8.2 : 8.2: Naseem Shah to Glenn Maxwell, Four! |
8.6 : 8.6: Naseem Shah to Marcus Stoinis, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Pakistan have been really poor in the field! On middle. Shortish. This is pulled through square leg. The fielder in the deep, runs to his left but lets it through. Boundery. |
9.5 : 9.5: Sufiyan Muqeem to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! Taken! Stoinis falls. Sufiyan Muqeem gets his man. His first T20I wicket! Stoinis timed that really well! On middle. Fuller. The reverse sweep comes out. He nails it but straight to deep cover. Afridi takes it nicely. Just as a partnership was growing, Pakistan strike. |
11.3 : 11.3: Sufiyan Muqeem to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! TAKEN! Maxwell goes. That's a massive wicket. What a debut Sufiyan Muqeem is having! On middle. Shortish. This is pulled well but it is on the longer side. It goes straight to deep mid-wicket. Easy catch. |

15.1 : 15.1: Naseem Shah to Aaron Hardie, Six! |
16.5 : 16.5: Shaheen Afridi to Xavier Bartlett, FOUR! Up and over! That's a fine shot! Fuller and on middle. Xavier heaves it over the mid-wicket fielder and this races away. Handy one. |
17.1 : 17.1: Naseem Shah to Aaron Hardie, Four! |
18.1: Haris Rauf to Xavier Bartlett, OUT! b Haris Rauf. |
19.4 : 19.4: Abbas Afridi to Aaron Hardie, OUT! That's a poor shot from Hardie. He should have left that. This is way too short and very, very wide. Would have been a wide had he left it. He looks to reach out for it. It goes off the toe end towards the off side. Rizwan takes it. A good little innings from him but Pakistan can surely keep Australia under 150 now. |
19.5 : 19.5: Abbas Afridi to Spencer Johnson, OUT! Taken! Two in two for Afridi! Length and on middle. He looks to go over mid off but it goes off the splice and it is taken at mid off. |

12.3: Adam Zampa to Usman Khan, Six! |
13.2 : 13.2: Nathan Ellis to Usman Khan, DROPPED AND FOUR! Slower bumper, around off. Usman Khan takes it on and hoicks it to the deep square leg region. Matthew Short comes running in but loses the ball in the lights. Parries it into the ropes. |
14.2: Xavier Bartlett to Irfan Khan, FOUR! TOO EASY! Slower bumper, angling down the leg. Irfan Khan pulls it past the keeper to fine leg for four runs. |
15.2: Spencer Johnson to Usman Khan, OUT! c Xavier Bartlett b Spencer Johnson. |
15.3 : 15.3: Spencer Johnson to Abbas Afridi, FOUR! CREAMED! Half-volley outside off. Abbas Afridi drives it majestically through extra cover and finds the ropes in a flash. |
15.4 : 15.4: Spencer Johnson to Abbas Afridi, OUT! TOP EDGE AND CAUGHT! |
16.3 : 16.3: Adam Zampa to Shaheen Afridi, BOWLED'EM! Zampa was too good for Shaheen Afridi! Flatter leg break, turning into the middle and leg. Shaheen Afridi gets low to slog this across the line. He misses it and the ball cannons into the stumps. Pakistan lose their seventh. |
16.5 : 16.5: Adam Zampa to Naseem Shah, OUT! b Adam Zampa. |
17.1 : 17.1: Nathan Ellis to Irfan Khan, FOUR! BANG! Full and in the slot on off. Irfan Khan waits and thumps it back over the bowler for a crunching boundary. |
17.2 : 17.2: Nathan Ellis to Irfan Khan, FOUR MORE! PUT AWAY! Pitched full, around off. Irfan Khan clears the front leg and drills it toward the long-off region. The fielder runs around but fails to stop it. The ball goes past the ropes for another boundary. |
17.3 : 17.3: Nathan Ellis to Irfan Khan, Six! |
18.3: Marcus Stoinis to Irfan Khan, OUT! run out (Matthew Short / Josh Inglis). |
18.6 : 18.6: Marcus Stoinis to Irfan Khan, FOUR! PUT AWAY! Full-length delivery, angling into the middle and leg. Irfan Khan shuffles and flicks it in the gap between deep backward square leg and deep mid-wicket for a cracking boundary to end the over. 16 needed off 6 now. |
19.4 : 19.4: Nathan Ellis to Irfan Khan, RUN-OUT! A MIX-UP AND GONE! All over for Pakistan. Full toss outside off. Irfan Khan swats it away towards long-on and dashes for a single. Rauf tries to steal a second and takes off but Irfan sends him back. However, it was too late by then as the sweeper in the deep collected the ball and threw it flat to the keeper who whipped off the bails to wrap up the game. Australia wins this game by 13 runs and takes the series.  |
