Salman Agha’s career-best 76 and a devastating spin assault from Abrar Ahmed powered Pakistan to a crushing 90-run victory over Australia, sealing the T20I series with a game to spare in one of Australia’s heaviest defeats since 2005.
Pakistan started the T20I tri-series in style, defeating Afghanistan by 39 runs in Sharjah. Captain Agha Salman played a match-winning knock of 53 not out from 36 balls, while Haris Rauf destroyed Afghanistan’s chase with a fiery four-wicket spell, including a game-changing double-wicket maiden.
