Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat, getting off to a brilliant start against the hosts. They showed a clear intention to dominate the match, but only for so long before the Aussies got the better of Haris Rauf's imposing show.
The rest of this section shows just how Australia took up the visitor’s best efforts to register stellar figures on the Match Scorecard in the Pakistan National Cricket Team vs Australian Men’s Cricket Team recent 3rd ODI faceoff.
Pakistan got to a bright start in their third T20I game against Australia. Here, we analyze the first innings in the Pakistan vs Australia cricket tie.
The hosts opened the game behind Pakistan’s fierce runs. Here’s more about their batting performance during the first innings.
The opening minutes saw Inglis and Stoinis put up a tremendous fight for the hosts against a seemingly determined Pakistani side. Soon enough, the Aussies' resilience would prove helpful as the middle overs approached.
Pakistan expected aggression from the start, but they were largely unprepared for Zampa's mastery throughout the game. Every wicket fall was made more disheartening for the visitors due to their tail's extreme length. Sadly, they often effectively ran out of batters, leaving the Aussies to dominate the batting game all through the event, especially during the middle-overs.
The Australian side were already looking as favorites to win the match, despite a rather slow start compared to the Pakistanis. But the second innings would only go to prove how outstanding the hosts have been in the entire series.
Pakistan may have to wish for a better follow-up performance to its terrific first innings outing. Here are details about the visitors’ performance in the game’s first innings.
Pakistan emerged to put up a fine performance and leverage the Powerplay. Surprisingly, players like Barbar, who usually began slowly into a game, found the boundary off the first ball and carried on in that vein. Similarly, Haseebullah Khan saw his edges find the boundary, adding up to his teammates' contributions to register one of the most sterling powerplay scores for Pakistan against Australia.
However, as the side’s representative spoke following the match, Pakistan lost some control of the middle overs, leaving Australia’s Zampa to wrought much damage to their visitors’ hopes. For instance, it took Zampa only five balls before Haseebullah’s luck elapsed, amidst the intense pressure he placed on various players throughout the game.
By the end of the first innings, a Pakistani collapse was already imminent, and the second innings would only reveal a defeat that’s long been in the works.
The second innings saw Australia become more dominant in the game against Pakistan. Here’s what the performances of both sides looked like during the game’s second innings.
Here’s how the visitors’ batting performance looked like during the fierce duel with a top-tier Australian cricket national side.
Swiftly into the second innings, the tourists experienced early setbacks as Abbas Afridi had to come out at No 7 over insufficient batters. Soon into the second innings, the issue of running out of batters remained an issue they might have to surmount going forward.
While Pakistan tried to build resilience and find balance via Usman Khan’s launches, much of their efforts failed to revive an imminent collapse. Pakistan would have to wait another day to beat this Australian national cricket team.
Expectedly, the tourists put up a decent fight to limit the Aussies’ dominance, but their efforts could only do so much. Stoinis’ massive sixes would nail the moment for both sides, sealing the victory for the home team.
Here's how the Aussies completed a dominating performance against Pakistan in their third 18th November T20I tie.
Australia put up significant early pressure as the second innings began, registering massive wicket-taking deliveries to extend their lead. With a little consistency, the hosts were bound to come out victorious at the end of the game.
Thanks to a brilliant coaching crew, strategic bowling changes in the middle overs would further enshrine Australia's dominance on the night.
The final result may have been more than it ended, had Stoinis’ final six attempts not faltered. However, Australia would have a night to remember as the hosts sealed the night with remarkable death-over executions to emerge winners.
Every game usually has a handful of key moments that either changed the game’s fate for the losing side, or sealed the victory for the winning squad. Here’s a peek at some game-defining performances from the Australia vs Pakistan third T20I match
There’s no doubt that being able to stop Haris Rauf was Australia’s biggest defensive effort on the night. Adam Zampa ran rings around the visitors following the Powerplay to register a fine performance for the hosts that eventually sealed his side’s win.
Marcus Stoinis was also vital in devising the victory when he smashed Haris Rauf for 22 in an over. Speaking to media reporters after the game, Stoinis said he told Haris this was the only time “one of us” got Haris’ number, praising the Pakistani’s prowess all through the game. His 27-ball 61 made Australia get to the target with nearly nine overs to spare following the visitors’ remarkable start.
There were no unusual umpiring decisions throughout the game, thankfully. The game ended on a fair note for all parties involved.
There’s no telling the story about the final T20I match between India and Pakistan without highlighting the sterling contribution of Australia’s AM Hardie. The player registered 3 wickets from 21 runs, establishing himself as one of the night’s best bowlers.
Meanwhile, Zampa’s massive outing for the hosts is also worth highlighting. Here’s talking about his 2 wickets from 11 runs, joining Hardie on the list of the night’s best bowlers.
Stoinis registered the best batting performance on the night. He registered 61 runs (27), 5 fours, and 5 sizes, earning his place as the match’s Player of the Match award. For the tourists, it was Barbar Aza, who led the batter’s list. With 41 runs (28); 4 fours, and 0 six, Aza put up a decent fight to prevent a loss to the hosts – however, the Aussies were just too dominant for most of the game.
Afridi made three runs and registered one wicket, while Khan got 1 wicket out of his 17 runs. Johnson Spencer recorded 2 wickets from 24 runs during the game, alongside Zampa, who achieved the same feat from 11 runs. However, it was Hardie who registered the most wickets – 3 – from 21 runs.
Zanpa not only bagged the most crucial wicket of Babar Azam, he finished with figures of 2-11 in his four overs - a massive economy rate of 2.75 runs per over.
A left hamstring injury to Australia’s Glenn Maxwell has to be the only downside to the hosts outstanding performance against Pakistan. The game turned out to be Australia’s first clean sweep of a T20 series against Pakistan.
Here’s what the Australian Men’s cricket team vs Pakistan National Cricket Team Match Scorecard broadly looks like. Australia won the match by 7 wickets (with 52 balls remaining) at 118/3 (11.2) against Pakistan’s 117 (18.1) to win the series by 3-0.
Here are post-match reactions from the Pakistan vs Australia tie.
The victorious Australian captain, Josh Inglis, voiced his observations following the match. “It’s been a great week and we have had a lot of fun as a group,” he told an Aljazeera representative. “It’s nice to get another win tonight and go 3-0 up.”
Inglis also praised Marcus Stoinis whose stellar innings sealed the victory. “He is really hard to stop and that six over the roof was one of the biggest I have ever seen, I reckon,” he concluded.
Salman Agha represented Mohammad Rizwan during a media dialogue following the match. To Rizwan, his team failed to latch on to their positive start and lost too many wickets for failing to do a great job in the middle overs. However, Agha was confident that his team’s players would improve their all-round game going forward.
Speaking after the game, ESPN’s Rio says, ‘‘Stoinis got the MOM though I thought it would be Hardie. Player of the series is richly deserved by Johnson.’’ Many other experts were also surprised that Hardie, who set the win up didn't get the coveted award as Australia recorded one of their finest performances against Pakistan in decades.
While Australian fans would have a memorable night to celebrate going into the festive period, Pakistani fans were left with figuring a way out for their favorite cricket side.
Reddit user @Love_islam wrote, “Going forward we need to drop Shaheen from every format of the game until he brings back his pace. Guy is bowling at 130-135 and trying to bowl bouncer with that pace, he's bound to be punished which we saw in this tour.”
Reddit user @ Connect_Zucchini6469 had to say after the game, ‘‘The ugly truth is that Pakistan only has Babar , Fakhar and maybe Rizwan as batsmen and no good sloggers . All these sloggers can only play 5 balls at max. People calling for Asif Ali don't realize how shit he was when he dropped. The same goes for Shadab, the guy who can only bowl fulltosses . Any player you want called back has been given ample chances and has just failed countless times. Same people calling for Saim to return were hating on him during the wc.’’
It might have been a very woolly night amidst the cool winter for a massive Australian celebration of its class, but the hosts came up satisfied enough for a job well done. Marcus Stoinis receiving the Player of the Match award meant the home fans could be well looking up to him for additional upbeat performances in subsequent games.
Johnson Spencer won the Player of the Series award, cementing his top-class status as an international cricket player. On the visitors’ part, Haris Rauf could have some brilliant memories to compensate himself against his team’s loss. On the larger scale, here are the potential implications of the tie on both teams.
The win meant Australia remained in the world's top three cricket nations, as they compete to win the World Test Championship.
Australia headed to a Test Match against India later during the same week in a series – one of the most highly anticipated ties at the time. Meanwhile, Pakistan headed to Zimbabwe for a three-match ODI series before three T20s against the hosts. Later, the Asians would be in South Africa for more OIDs and T20s, just before a two-test series over Christmas and New Year.
Speaking after the match on his side’s disappointing loss, Salman Agha told the media, “I think in the middle overs we didn’t capitalize on the start and we just kept losing too many wickets.” However, Agha took the time to encourage debutant Jahandad Khan for his contribution, saying that young players like him “will come” good.
Hopefully, the Pakistani team will hope to ‘‘come good,’’ and learn to maximize their wickets. They'll also want to master their middle overs even more, going forward.
The Aussies completed a 3-0 series victory spectacularly, running away with a seven-wicket victory in Hobart. Fans of the Australian men's cricket team will have the victory to latch onto after a rather disappointing outing in an earlier ODI series. However, the Pakistan men's national cricket side will have much to think through as they re-strategize their playing tricks and methods to remain competitive.
