Goodbye for now! Pakistan have secured an unassailable 2-0 lead to wrap up the series, but the job isn't finished yet as they eye a dominant clean sweep. Australia finds themselves with their backs against the wall, desperate to find some form and salvage a consolation win to avoid a total whitewash. All eyes now turn to the series finale this Sunday at 11 am GMT, where the visitors will look to play for pride while the hosts aim to inflict a clean sweep. Goodbye for now, cheers!

Player of the Match - The skipper of Pakistan, Salman Agha, has been awarded the POTM for his knock of 76. Agha is thrilled with Pakistan's performance, calling it a perfect game for them. He praised the team's strong batting and bowling in the Powerplay, which helped them finish the game early. Agha thanked the Lahore crowd for their support and invited them to the next game.

Australia captain - Mitchell Marsh praised Pakistan for outplaying them in the first two games, acknowledging that they had a tough time in the series. He expressed hope that Australia can turn things around in the next match, taking valuable lessons from their losses. Marsh commended Pakistan's pressure in the Powerplay and noted that the surface was worth around 160-170. He emphasized the importance of partnerships in run chases and looked forward to implementing the lessons learned from the series.

Presentation ...

The skipper led from the front - Earlier in the game, Pakistan posted a mammoth 198/5, powered by a dominant 76 from captain Salman Agha and a timely half-century from Usman Khan. Despite early breakthroughs from Matthew Kuhnemann and Adam Zampa, Pakistan maintained a high run rate through key partnerships, including a 55-run stand between Agha and Saim Ayub. A late-innings explosion from Usman and Shadab Khan, who added 63 runs together. While the Australian bowling attack shared the wickets, Zampa remained the most economical with figures of 1 for 27. All 10 wickets were taken by spinners for Pakistan.

Spinners ruled for Pakistan - It was a case of spin to win as Pakistan’s slow bowlers dictated terms on a helpful surface. Shadab Khan was the pick of the bunch, ripping through the middle order to claim 3 wickets, while Abrar Ahmed provided excellent support with 3 scalps of his own. Saim Ayub and Mohammad Nawaz took one each while Usman Tariq also chipped in with a couple of wickets, suffocating the Australian batters and ensuring a dominant night for the Men in Green.

Wickets fell in clusters for the Aussies - The Australian chase went off the rails almost immediately during a disastrous Powerplay. Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head departed early, leaving the top order in tatters as they slumped to a shaky 48/3 after six overs. While Cameron Green provided a brief spark of resistance with a breezy 35 off 20 balls, his dismissal in the 11th over triggered the final collapse. Wickets tumbled at regular intervals, and the Aussies simply had no answer to the scoreboard pressure.

Pakistan clinch the series in style! It was a clinical performance from Pakistan as they blew Australia away to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, winning their first T20I series against Australia since 2018, says Bazid Khan, on-air. Chasing a mammoth target of 199, the visitors never really got going and were bundled out for just 108, handing Pakistan a massive 90-run victory. With the trophy already in the bag, the hosts will be smelling blood as they head into the final match looking to complete a comprehensive clean sweep.
