Pakistan achieved its biggest win by runs against Australia in a Twenty20, with a margin of 90, and sealed the series with a game to spare today.
Australia fielded a stronger side after losing the opener of the three-match series by 19 runs, but was bowled out for 108 in 15.4 overs in reply to Pakistan’s 198-5.
Leg-spinners Abrar Ahmed (3-14) and Shadab Khan (3-26) shot out the Australians on another slow Gaddafi Stadium pitch.
Captain Salman Ali Agha’s 76 off 40 balls and Usman Khan’s 53 off 36 balls propped up Pakistan’s tall total.
Pakistan will be based in Sri Lanka for the T20 World Cup, which is being co-hosted by India and starts next weekend.
