Pakistan produced a dominant all-round performance to defeat Australia by a massive 90 runs in the second T20 International, taking an unassailable 2–0 lead in the three-match series. Playing in front of a lively home crowd, Pakistan outplayed Australia in every department, delivering one of their most convincing T20 victories in recent times.
After winning the toss, Pakistan opted to bat first and made full use of the conditions. Their batters showed positive intent from the outset, keeping the scoreboard moving and punishing loose deliveries. The innings was built around a powerful middle-order effort that allowed Pakistan to post an imposing total of 198 for 5 in 20 overs, a score that proved far beyond Australia’s reach.

Australia struggled to find consistency with the ball as Pakistan’s batters rotated strike efficiently and accelerated in the death overs. Despite brief moments of control, the visitors failed to contain the flow of runs, especially in the final phase of the innings. Pakistan’s total reflected not just power hitting, but smart game awareness and depth in batting.
In reply, Australia’s chase never gained momentum. Early wickets put them immediately on the back foot, and the required run rate quickly spiraled out of control. Although Cameron Green showed some resistance with a fighting 35 off 20 balls, he received little support from the rest of the batting lineup.
Pakistan’s bowling attack was clinical and disciplined. The spinners, in particular, made excellent use of the pitch, applying constant pressure during the middle overs. Abrar Ahmed was outstanding, removing key batters and breaking Australia’s rhythm, while Usman Tariq and Shadab Khan provided crucial breakthroughs that completely derailed the chase.
Australia were eventually bowled out for just 108 runs in 15.4 overs, handing Pakistan a comprehensive 90-run victory. The margin of the win underlined Pakistan’s dominance and highlighted Australia’s struggles against quality spin and controlled pace bowling.
This emphatic result not only sealed the series for Pakistan but also sent a strong message about their growing confidence in the T20 format. With form, balance, and match-winning performances across the squad, Pakistan will now look to complete a clean sweep in the final match, while Australia will aim to restore some pride.
