Naseem Shah to Matthew Kuhnemann, out Caught by Fakhar Zaman!! Soft dimissal! The change in angle works for Naseem. He goes round the wicket and angles it in, Kuhnemann backs away and gets cramped for room, chips it with an open bat face to backward point and Fakhar takes a simple catch. The players are shaking hands. Zampa is not coming out to bat. Not sure why. Pakistan complete the whitewash.. Matthew Kuhnemann c Fakhar Zaman b Naseem Shah 5(8)

Abrar Ahmed to Mitchell Owen, out Lbw!! Abrar joins the party. Owen had no clue against the spinners and it was only a matter of time. This is the carrom ball, pitches on the stumps and keeps going on, Owen sits down and misses the sweep, struck on the back leg and the impact was on middle, the ball was hitting the outer half of middle-stump. Pakistan are two wickets away from wrapping this up.. Mitchell Owen lbw b Abrar Ahmed 8(10) [4s-1]

Mohammad Nawaz to Cameron Green, out Bowled!! Ufff! That's an absolute beauty. Second wicket in the over for Nawaz. Both set batters back in the dugout. This was a top nut - flighted delivery, drifts in and draws Green forward, he lunges to play the drive but the ball spins past his outside edge, crashes into off-stump. Not much he could have done there especially in this format. Australia are five down and staring down the barrel. Cameron Green b Mohammad Nawaz 22(24) [4s-2]

Shaheen Afridi to Matt Renshaw, out Bowled!! Knocked 'im! Pakistan pacers hadn't picked a wicket in the first two games, and now Shaheen has two in his first two overs. Renshaw takes the risky option and pays the price. He moves across and attempts the scoop, misses and the ball smashes into off-stump. Australia slip further.. Matt Renshaw b Shaheen Afridi 1(6)

India...and? Who will reach the semi-finals of the 2026 T20 World Cup?

Babar's in the zone!

Babar Azam looks settled and in control, timing the ball sweetly and growing in confidence with every run. With the hard work done, he's clearly eyeing his first fifty of this series. View Complete Forecast...

Matthew Kuhnemann to Saim Ayub, out Caught by Matt Renshaw!! Saim Ayub's fine knock comes to an end. He advances down the wicket and mistimes his slogsweep towards the leg-side. Renshaw from deep square leg sprins across to his right, keeps his eyes on the ball and pulls off a brilliant diving catch to his right. Renshaw can't believe himself. He's not sure how he got there and took this blinder. That expression on his face says it all. Saim Ayub c Matt Renshaw b Matthew Kuhnemann 56(37) [4s-6 6s-2]

Adam Zampa to Babar Azam, SIX, short and punished! Babar Azam winning this battle today against Zampa. Picks the length early, rocks back in the crease and pulls the short ball over deep mid-wicket for half-a-dozen. 14 runs from Zampa's 1st over

Ayub’s locked in - fifty loading!

Saim Ayub has once again laid a solid foundation at the top. He's looked fluent from the outset, rotating the strike smartly and punishing anything loose. There's a sense of control in the way he's building this innings, and if he maintains this rhythm, it feels only a matter of time before he brings up his fifty. View Complete Forecast...

Babar Azam vs Adam Zampa

Adam Zampa has enjoyed a notable edge over Babar Azam in T20 cricket, having dismissed him 5 times already. It's a matchup that clearly favours the leg spinner, who has consistently found ways to break through Babar's defence. If Zampa is introduced into the attack soon, Australia will fancy their chances of that rivalry tilting further his way, with another dismissal on the cards. View Complete Forecast...
