The series was a showcase of Pakistan’s dominance, with winning margins of 22 runs, 90 runs, and a whopping 111 runs. In the final match, Pakistan set a formidable target of 207/6 in their 20 overs, thanks to Babar Azam’s steady 50 not out, Saim Ayub’s quickfire 56, and Shadab Khan’s explosive 46 off just 19 balls. Australia struggled to keep up, managing only 96 runs in 16.5 overs, with Mohammad Nawaz stealing the spotlight by taking an impressive five wickets to clinch the victory.
