AUS vs PAK 2nd T20I: Australia clinch series win as Spencer returns with five-for
Australia defeated Pakistan by 13 runs in the second T20I of the ongoing three-match series, clinching an unassailable 2-0 lead on Saturday at SCG. The star of the show was young bowler Spencer Johnson, who returned with a five-for to power the side to victory over Pakistan. Batting first, Australia posted a total of 147/9 in 20 overs, with Glenn Maxwell and Aaron Hardie leading the charge with contributions of 21 and 28 respectively. Pakistan's bowlers, particularly Haris Rauf kept the Aussies under pressure, claiming four wickets, but they couldn't prevent a modest total.
Chasing the total,, Pakistan's chances faltered after a disastrous start, with openers playing no crucial innings. However, there was a valiant knock from Usman Khan, who scored 52 runs, but his efforts weren't enough to carry his team past the target. Pakistan's middle and lower order crumbled under pressure, and they were bowled out for 134 in just 19.4 overs.
Australia's Spencer Johnson was the standout performer, claiming a brilliant 5-wicket haul that dismantled Pakistan's batting line-up and ensured a dominant victory for the visitors. With this win, Australia seal the series 2-0, leaving Pakistan to play for pride in the third match.
