00:00Hello and a very warm welcome to all the viewers all around the world.
00:28Well this is the big one. Pakistan taking on Australia in three T20s. The first one live
00:35from Gaddafi Stadium Lahore. Pakistan won the toss elected to bat. Pakistan then fielding
00:43the usual suspects. Sayem, Farhan, Salman, Babur, Fakhar, Usman, Shadad, Nawaz, Shaheen, Mirza
00:51has been the breakout player for them in the last year or so. Abrar, the mystery spinner.
00:56Well, they're in form. Plenty of them showed good form during that big bash and there are
01:02plenty of match winners available in the Australian line-up. Head is a very dangerous opener.
01:08He can now take the game to the opposition along with short. Plenty of bowling options.
01:13So we are expecting a great contest here.
01:19And gone first ball. The ball stopped on him. A very, very soft dismissal. Scooping it back
01:29to the bowler and serve. It's none for one.
01:33It just floated the ball in the air. And seemed like he stalled in the air. And Sabzada
01:41was early into the stroke. Wasn't able to control it. And an easy return catch for Bartlett.
01:47First blood drawn. Pakistan losing Sabzada with the first delivery. Zero for one.
01:53Zero for one. And goes big. Made a great sound. Gets off the mark with a six.
02:08Big shot. That's gone. Swept it for six.
02:15Oh, straight six. Brilliant shot. Made it look ridiculously easy. Once he got to the pitch of the ball,
02:26it was job done. Has gone up in the air. Fine leg up in the circle. That's Topesh. Into the boundary rope.
02:37It's a four. Big shot into the gap for four.
02:44Excellent stuff. When he's on, he is so good to watch.
02:55Hits it into the gap. Second time he has employed this sweep stroke. And got a very good result.
03:08Another one that looks glorious and will find the distance as well.
03:12This is really good from Saim Ayoub and the power play being played right.
03:17goes again and will be the similar result in terms of one drop into the boundary.
03:2750 partnership also comes up. This is really good stuff from Saim and Salman.
03:32into the left side and into the gap. Tremendous ball striking from both Saim and Salman.
03:44And this is really good. Another bit maximum.
03:46Straight up. Probably more vertical than the distance.
03:56Exactly what Zampa wanted. Exactly why Travis had brought him into the attack.
04:01And that causes a close on curtains for Saim Ayoub.
04:05Adam Zampa lured him into the big shot. Got a little bit carried away.
04:09And once again just swings a little bit inside out. So as a result doesn't catch the ball with the full
04:16power to get that straight over the side screen for six.
04:19A very good knock from Ayoub. Comes to an end for 40. Pakistan now 74 for two.
04:29How magnificent is that? That is amazing at its best.
04:34And Salman Ali Agha with another maximum to his name.
04:37Salman Ali Agha has other plans. Maybe not. Maybe not. Felt like it had the distance. Once again holds
04:49out to Botman. Well this is not what Pakistan need. Two new batters now. The Pakistan skipper.
04:57Looking for the boundary early in the set. Advancing down but just catches it on the bottom part of it.
05:03But doesn't get good contact and comfortably taken at deep mid on by Xavier Bartlett. So after a promising
05:10start Pakistan just faltering towards the midway point. And now 86 for three.
05:20This time hits it over the top. Finally gets a good piece of it. Slow one but mid off in the circle.
05:33This time hits it over the top. Threes his arms. And down the ground. One bounce into the fence.
05:46Baba down the ground. Hits it hard and long. Maximum.
05:54Baba tries the reverse. Huge shout.
05:57Pitching outside of. Impacting line. Wicket sitting. Change your original decision of not out to
06:13out on screen now. Signal please. Baba who has to depart. A reverse sweep. Not his shot. Zampa with the
06:19wicket. Very confident in the review. It's 123 for four. Down the track. Hits it. Pass point. He's very
06:28good in that region. Boundary.
06:36That'll go to the fence as well. Avoided that short mid-wicket there. Full length dive. But back to back
06:43boundaries. Yeah that's a good one. Is it a good one? Not to be is done. He's out. Cameron Green is
06:55about 6-6. Took it quite easily in the end. Fuckers. Disappointing innings comes to an end.
07:02Yeah it's hard to clear that man. Cameron Green. Once again. Back just twisting in the hands. A little
07:08bit similar to some of the previous dismissals. Doesn't get the connection. And Cameron Green
07:15takes that comfortably. Initially they thought it was going for 6. As we all did.
07:22So a disappointing knock comes to an end for Fakar. He goes for 10. Pakistan now. 140 for 5.
07:29Is that a solid hit? Not to be. Once again it's caught. The boundary riders have been very impressive.
07:43Just taking pace out of the ball. You can see that. Wider. Slower. Out of the hitting zone.
07:49Usman Khan had to try and drag it from well outside off stump. It was only 85 k's an hour.
07:56Doesn't get that contact he wants for 6. And he departs now for 18.
08:04Big shot. Strong 8 for 6. In his wheelhouse and it travels.
08:10Doesn't time it. And once again it's great catching. Cameron Green. His third catch of the evening.
08:25Just not enough power on the shot. Into the surface. Shut up Khan. Just catches it towards the toe end of the bat. So.
08:36Enough power to clear. Cameron Green. Tall man. Catches that comfortably.
08:42It's shut up. Departs for 1. Pakistan. 160 for 7.
08:51Well. That's going to be out. First ball dismissal. The catching has been outstanding.
08:58Mitchell in there. Making it look so easy. And Birdman has picked up 2 now.
09:02Shaheen Shahraf. He holds out. Deep backwards. Square leg. First ball. So the young man is on a hack trick.
09:09How about that Ramiz? Potential hack trick on debut.
09:13And only 20. Full of promise and potential. Shaheen has been an early exit.
09:20And Pakistan. 8 down for 160.
09:22Yeah. Beautiful Yorker to end the over. End the innings.
09:30Pakistan then end the innings. At 168 for the loss of 8. It promised a lot. But couldn't get it past 170.
09:40After what was a very good start from Ayub and Salman. Opening and batting at 3.
09:46Baba, Fakar and Usman found it very difficult in the middle orders. Overs with spin coming off.
09:53And pace off the ball with the quicks. And in the end, Mohamed Nawaz hit one good blow over mid-wicket for 6.
10:00But otherwise, the Australian bowlers fought back beautifully. Both Zampa and the quicks in Bartlett and Beardman.
10:08The last 8 overs just producing 58 runs. So the flow was with Australia in the last few.
10:15Plenty of options engaged. And standout performer as far as wickets column is concerned.
10:214 for Zampa. 2 for Beardman. And 2 for Bartlett. That's the target for Australia. 169 of 20 overs.
10:29At 8.45 runs per ove.
10:31Australia off and running. Quick single. Matthew Short opens his account as well.
10:46Travis Head likes it there. Full in the block hole. Picks it up and dispatches it for 4.
10:58In very Travis Head fashion, he's off and running with the boundary.
11:01Saima you. What a welcome. Glorious hit for 6.
11:17Elegantly glanced away. Pierces the offside.
11:20Another boundary.
11:24Above them. Pace off. Matthew Short threw the short before it arrived.
11:30Saim gets the first wicket for Pakistan.
11:34And had a bit to say to short as well as that ball cannoned into the stumps.
11:38It is the caram ball. Just grips, holds on and pegs off stump. Middle stump back.
11:44Really good control from Saim takes the pace off. He likes that. More importantly,
11:52much needed breakthrough for Pakistan. Short goes to 5. Australia 21 for 1.
11:59The only place the ball is going is into the fence. Courtesy Travis Head.
12:05Once again, a fantastic hit for 6.
12:07Does this have the distance? Don't think so. Barber gets under and takes it comfortably.
12:16The roar of the crowd will tell you because that is a huge wicket in the context of the game.
12:22Saim has to. Travis Head wanted to hit this straight over long off. But no pace. Bottom of the bat.
12:31And he knew straight away. He just turned and walked off.
12:35Barber completed a very comfortable catch. Huge wicket. Travis Head out for 23. 28 for 2.
12:51Slashed away. And with some force and will find the fence.
12:55Once again, this one struck even with more force. Back to back boundaries.
13:10That is beautiful. Really is extension of the arms and it has hit the fence so quickly. What a good shot that was.
13:18Oh, that's off the toe end of the bat. But the mid-on fielder was in the circle.
13:28And it goes all the way for 6. That is some power for you.
13:33Oh, chance. Chance and he's done. Massive miscommunication.
13:46Salman Ali Agha, the fielder. And even though it wasn't a bullet throw, but still had plenty on it to get the batsman runner.
13:55Well, Matt Renshaw, he hit it. And he thought it was well and truly into the gap. Goes halfway down, gets sent back by Cameron Green.
14:04And that was a horrible mix-up. Comfortably out.
14:09Oh, gone. That one was quicker through the air. Flat. Hit the stumps. And another Australian wicket goes down.
14:22The first ball to Connolly. Just 76 kilometers an hour. And then this one comes through at 95. Does him all ends up.
14:31It's halfway up. Off stump. And sends him on his way for a second ball duck.
14:37Exactly what Pakistan need. They get the double breakthrough. And Australia reeling now. 68 for 4.
14:49Yeah, played it fine. That's a nice shot. Fast outfield. Fakhar is not going to catch up with it.
14:56Delicately played.
14:57Has he got hands on it. You always know as a bowler. And he was a non-striker. He was caught outside his crease.
15:10They'll probably still have a look, but Owen might have to depart here.
15:16Satisfied. Nothing behind the popping crease.
15:19When the bails are removed. I have made my decision for the big screen. My decision is out. Repeat out.
15:28It should be just the three letters on the big screen. Mitch Owen.
15:32Run out courtesy Mohamed Nawaz. Confirmation now.
15:39Played fine. Played delicate. And will find the fence as well.
15:42One more delivery left. But a much-hit boundary for Australia.
15:49Great crowd here at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Almost a jam-packed evening.
16:00Does it clear the fence? No. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
16:04A balancing act from Barbara Razum. And he holds on to that catch.
16:10Tremendous timely wicket that of Cameron Green.
16:13Yeah, he really struggled to time the ball on the front foot.
16:17Yeah, the timing was there, but not the elevation.
16:21And what a take from Barbara Razum.
16:25Showing awareness of the surrounding. Kept the balance.
16:28And a great take. A good hand from Cameron Green.
16:36Of 36. Australia.
16:40A spot of ball there now. 96 for 6.
16:46Big shot attempt. It should be taken. Ace taken.
16:50Barber's been phenomenal on the fence with his catching.
16:53And so have the Pakistan spinners. Third catch to Barber.
16:56Four. Seven down for Australia.
17:00Never easy when you're diving forward.
17:02Picked the Googly.
17:04The option was right.
17:07But couldn't middle it.
17:09How about that catch?
17:11Brilliant. He's been in the field.
17:12Barbara Razum. That was his second.
17:15A short stay.
17:18Came to an end.
17:19One of five for seven.
17:20Picked up just in front of the fielder.
17:27Shadab on that occasion running in from the fence.
17:31Just hits the turf in front of him and finds the fence as well.
17:35You can't have Barbara Razum everywhere.
17:36That will be or should be taken.
17:43And it's taken.
17:45Saima Youb lined himself underneath that one.
17:48So it's another one for Abrar.
17:51He's bowled beautifully.
17:52It was the Karam ball but just back of a length.
17:56It never really came on.
17:58Skid on.
18:00Saima Youb has had a terrific match.
18:04Runs.
18:05Wickets now.
18:07Fielding well.
18:08Catching.
18:09Ilipe out for 12.
18:10It's 112 for eight.
18:16Straight hit.
18:16That's well connected.
18:19Well struck for four.
18:25Barbara Razum is having a field day as a fielder.
18:29He palms it into the fence.
18:31It was a difficult chance.
18:32First boundary.
18:33The only boundary conceded so far by Abrar.
18:36Slow ball.
18:40That's hit hard for six.
18:42That is some hit.
18:44It made a great sound in the slot and it has traveled.
18:50Oh, that is a mighty hit.
18:53That's powered for probably the biggest six of the evening.
18:5887 meters monster.
19:06So it's after seven years that Pakistan had beaten Australia.
19:10This is a big deal.
19:11There were moments of brilliance from Australia.
19:15But nothing on consistent basis with the baton.
19:17They found it tough to tackle the spin of Pakistan.
19:22And in the end, Pakistan over the line.
19:25It's a comprehensive win.
19:27They win this by 22 runs.
19:32Winning a game before the World Cup is important.
19:37And Pakistan have downed Australia.
19:39They could only get 146 for eight.
19:42Green with a 36 of 31.
19:44And the rest didn't really come to party.
19:49Bartlett with a 34 not out.
19:52But by the time it was all too late for Australia to bounce back with the bat.
19:58It's all about the spinners.
19:59Saim Ayoub to 29.
20:01Shadab one for 25.
20:02Nawaz one for 25.
20:04But it was Abrar Ahmed.
20:05Four overs.
20:0617 dot balls.
20:08Two for 10.
20:09Just going at 2.5s in a T20 game.
20:13It is quite spectacular.
20:16146 for eight.
20:18Australia falling short by 22.
20:22That's the match summary then.
20:23Pakistan 168 for eight.
20:25And that total was defended brilliantly by the spinners.
20:30Pakistan winning this by 22 runs.
20:42Aparngel.
20:44Antirca Pastel kaç pieces
20:56Rest up on our backs.
20:58And a handicap summary then.
20:59And peace.
