Pakistan Win 111 Runs | Pakistan vs Australia Highlights of 3rd T20I 2026: PAK Win Series 3-0

Pakistan Win by 111 Runs! A clinical finish by Pakistan. A big win here and they clinch the three-match series 3-0. They will head into T20 World Cup 2026 as a confident unit. Australia definitely missed some of its key players on this short tour. That's all from this game!

Another one bites the dust as Pakistan inch closer towards the victory and whitewash! It is Abrar Ahmed who pockets a wicket here, his first of the night. 

Australia further sinking here as they are seven down now. Mohammad Nawaz takes two wickets in one over and with that completes his five-wicket haul. He finishes with impressive figures of 5/18 in his four overs

Pakistan have managed to send back Marcus Stonis and Cameron Green. So, Australia have now lost half the side with still 127 runs required.  

The partnership between Cameron Green and Marcus Stoinis is now worth 42 off 31 balls as Australia need 150 more runs to win from 12 overs. Australia will have their hopes as long as this pair stays at the crease.

OUT! Poor shot selection by Matt Renshaw, and he pays the price for it. Shaheen Afridi claims his second wicket as Renshaw tries the scoop but fails to connect, and has his stumps rattled. 

OUT! Australia are off to a disastrous start, losing both openers in the first two overs. Matt Short went for the big shot, but failed to get the elevation as a running Babar Azam claimed a spectacular catch at mid-off region. 

OUT! Shaheen Afridi comes into the XI, and manages to clean up Australian captain Mitchell Marsh in his first over itself. Marsh was completely beaten by the inswinger and ended up missing the ball. 

A gem of an innings from Shadab Khan and a half-century from Babar Azam ensured Pakistan set an imposing total in Lahore. Khan scored a brisk 46 off 18, while Azam remained unbeaten on 50 off 36. 

OUT! Shadab Khan's brilliant cameo in the middle comes to an end. Khan went for the big shot, but managed to hand a simple catch to the wicket-keeper for a 19-ball 46, which included two fours and five sixes. 

Shadab Khan is taking on the role of the aggressor in the middle, with Babar Azam playing second fiddle despite being the well-set batter. Azam is nearing yet another T20I half-century; his 39th in the format. 

OUT! Cooper Connolly has the last laugh, and Khawaja Nafay's short innings comes to an end. Nafay wanted to go downtown one too many times in this over, which became the batter's undoing. Khawaja Nafay c Matthew Short b Connolly 21(12)

OUT! Matthew Kuhnemann gets into the attack and removes the well-set Saim Ayub. Well the wicket should idealy go to Mett renshaw for taking a spectacular diving catch in the deep after a bit of misjudgement between fielders. 

100 up for Pakistan. This has been a solid partnership between Saim Ayub and Babar Azam, who have added 68 runs in 42 balls, with both showing caution and aggression. 

FIFTY! Saim Ayub brings up his sixth T20I half-century in style with a stylish four. Ayub took 30 balls to reach his landmark, which included six fours and two sixes. The opener has taken upon himsef the role of a sheet anchor. 

With the fall of two wickets, the run-rate has slowed considerably, which showcases the importance of early wickets in the format. Saim Ayub and Babar Azam have started the rebuilding and will look to build this partnership into a big one. The pitch is definitely getting harder to bat on. 

OUT! Ben Dwarshuis removes the in-form Salman Ali Agha. Agha failed to gauge the pace of the ball and ended up giving a regulation catch to the fielder at mid-on. Salman Agha c Cameron Green b Ben Dwarshuis 5(3)

OUT! Matthew Short provides Australia first blood, and veteran Fakhar Zaman has to walk back to the dressing room. Zaman got enticed into playing the big shot with a change in field, which the batter obliged and ended up handing a simple to Cameron Green at mid-off. Fakhar Zaman c Cameron Green b Matthew Short 10(7) 

A new opening pair for Pakistan, with Fakhar Zaman joining Saim Ayub in the middle. Both batters are known for their aggressive approach, and will look to hand the batters a platform to launch later in the innings. Australia have started with a spinner for a change. 

Pakistan have made as many as three changes, Fakhar Zaman, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Khawaja Nafay come in for the hosts. Australia have made four changes in their XI as well, which include resting Travis Head. 

Pakistan XI: Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Salman Agha(c), Babar Azam, Khawaja Nafay(w), Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Abrar Ahmed

Australia XI: Mitchell Marsh (c), Matthew Short, Cameron Green, Matt Renshaw, Marcus Stoinis, Josh Philippe (wk), Mitchell Owen, Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis, Matthew Kuhnemann, Adam Zampa
