PAK Win By 90 Runs | Pakistan vs Australia 2nd T20I 2026 Highlights: Shadab Khan, Abrar Ahmed and Spinners Help Hosts Gain Unassailable 2-0 Lead

Shadab Khan, Abrar Ahmed, and other spinners have managed to bundle out Australia for 108, ensuring the hosts win the contest by 90 runs and take a 2-0 unassailable lead in the three-T20I series. Salman Ali Agha and Usman Khan scored fifties in quick time, helping Pakistan notch up an imposing total of 198/5. This is Pakistan's first T20I series win over Australia after 2018. 

OUT! Two-in Two for Shadab Khan. Sean Abbott's stay lasts just one ball, as the batter chops the ball onto his stumps. The angled bat became Bartlett's undoing. 

OUT! Xavier Bartlett went for the big shot, but ended up holing out to the mid-on fielder. Shadab Khan enticed the batter to play a shot, which Bartlett obliged, and persished for 8-ball 10.

OUT! Usman Tariq gets his first wicket of the night, and Cameron Green's knock comes to an end on 35. The spinners have been all over Australia, with all wickets falling to them. Several mystery spinners have been the downfall of Australian batters, with ball gripping and turning.

OUT! Cooper Connolly gets bowled by Shadab Khan. Connolly went for the flick, but the ball turned ever-so slightly and went inside the edge and crashed into the middle stump. 

OUT! Another preemptive shot that ends in a dismissal. Matt Renshaw wanted to play the ramp shot, but ended up missing the ball and getting leg-before, handing Mohammed Nawaz his first wicket of the match. 

OUT! Abrar Ahmed is putting up a show in Lahore, picking wickets dirt cheap. Josh Inglis went for the reverse-sweep but misread the ball completely and got himself LBW. 

OUT! Abrar Ahmed gets two in two, and Travis Head is dismissed for 4. Head failed to read the delivery, which kept low, and rocked the batter's wickets. 

OUT! Abrar Ahmed draws first blood for Pakistan, and Australian captain Mitchell Marsh has to walk back. Marsh failed to read the delivery and got trapped leg-before for a 14-ball 18. This has been a perfect start for Pakistan, with the lack of pace on the delivery, making life tougher for the Australian openers in the middle.

The pressure will be on Australian openers Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh to provide their side a steady start, with the target being nearly 200. The opening stands need to be solid, given the spinners Pakistan possesses in their line-up. 

Mohammed Nawaz slammed two fours in the final over, which saw Pakistan nearly reach the 200-run mark, but Shadab Khan's 28 off 20 helped the hosts post an imposing total. Salman Ali Agha and Usman Khan were the standout performers, scoring 76 and 53, respestively. 

Fifty! Usman Khan slams his second T20I half-century, which took just 35 balls. Khan came to bat with Pakistan in trouble, and have ensured that the side reaches a substantial total. 

Usman Khan and Shadab Khan have just attacked the bowlers, with four overs left, Pakistan will hope to end their innings somewhere past the 200-run mark. The duo have added 31 off 19 runs, with Usman nearing his fifty as well. 

OUT! Salman Agha departs for 76 off 40. Agha wanted to play the cheeky shots, but failed to connect the bat to the ball properly, and managed to edge the shot to the keeper, handing Seam Abbott his first wicket. 

Fifty! Captain's knock from Salman Agha here in Lahore, with the batter reaching the landmark in 25-balls. Agha's sixth T20I fifty included fice fours and three sixes. 

OUT! Babar Azam fails for the second time this series as the ace batter gets dismissed for 2. Adam Zampa, for the fifth time, gets Azam's wicket. After a quick start, Pakistan have faltered with wickets falling at the other end.  Babar Azam lbw b Adam Zampa 2(5)

OUT! Saim Ayub departs having scored 23 off 11. Ayub went for the big heave, but missed the ball completely and hit his pad as a right DRS call saw Australia break this stunning partnership, with Cooper Connolly claiming his first wicket. Saim Ayub lbw b Connolly 23(11)

Captain Salman Agha and Saim Ayub have added 50-runs in merely 21 balls. This is just the eighth time that Pakistan have managed to cross the 50-run mark in 25 balls or less.

Despite the wicket, the flow of runs has not stopped, with both Saim Ayub and Salman Agha hitting boundaries at will. Agha is looking to take the attack to the spinners, while Ayub has been aggressive regardless. 

OUT! Sahibzada Farhan wanted to play the reverse sweep, and managed to just glove the ball, with the ball lobbing into the wicket-keeper's hands. Matthew Kuhnemann gets his first wicket. Sahibzada Farhan c Josh Inglis b Matthew Kuhnemann 5(5)
