Australia sealed a 7-wicket victory over Pakistan, completing a 3-0 clean sweep in the T20I series. Pakistan, after opting to bat first, struggled to build momentum and were bowled out for just 117 runs. Babar Azam, their former captain, was the lone bright spot, top-scoring with 41 off 28 balls, including four boundaries. However, Pakistan’s batting crumbled under the pressure exerted by Australia’s bowlers. Aaron Hardie took 3 wickets, while Adam Zampa and Spencer Johnson claimed 2 wickets each, dismantling the visitors’ line-up.

In response, Australia chased down the target with ease, reaching 118 in just 11.2 overs. Marcus Stoinis led the charge with a blistering knock of 61 runs off 27 balls, smashing five fours and five sixes. His aggressive approach ensured a swift finish, as Australia cruised to victory with ample overs to spare.

The win capped off a dominant series performance by Australia, with both their bowling and batting units consistently outperforming Pakistan. Despite Babar Azam’s efforts, Pakistan could not post a competitive total or contain the hosts. Australia’s emphatic victory in the third T20I highlighted their dominance and reinforced their status as a formidable T20 side.
