Steve smith hurt Pakistan the most in the second T20I. The previous Australian captain stayed unbeaten on 80 from 51 deliveries, thus leading his team to an impressive 7 wicket win over Pakistan.
Australia successfully chased a low target of 151, reaching the mark in 18.3 overs while Smith and Ashton (8 off 15) remained unbeaten.
After electing to bat, Pakistan suffered a nightmare start with the quick loss of Fakhar and Haris Sohail. They failed to stem the flow of wickets, ending their 20 overs with a disappointing score of 150 for 6.
The Pakistani captain was the only batter to truly stand out, managing to notch another half-century.
Even though Aaron Finch's team won't enter the Canberra leg with a 1-0 advantage, they are playing with significant intensity. Australia is currently unstoppable in T20Is, riding a five-game winning streak. David Warner continues to be a powerhouse, and Finch looked commanding in the limited time he had before the weather intervened. The bowlers have also stayed sharp, continuing the momentum from their series against Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, Pakistan's long-standing stability has vanished, leaving them in a state of turmoil.
