Pakistan capped off a flawless campaign with a commanding 31-run victory over Australia in the 5th and final T10 match at the Multan Cricket Stadium, completing a dominant 5–0 series whitewash. The final encounter perfectly summed up the series—Pakistan’s discipline, depth, and adaptability outclassing Australia in all departments.

Pakistan Innings – Saud & Shan Steady the Ship

Batting first, Pakistan faced early pressure as wickets fell at regular intervals. Saim Ayub (21) gave a steady start, but a brief collapse saw Pakistan slide from 60/1 to 76/6. In the middle of the chaos, Saud Shakeel anchored the innings with a composed 37 off 21 balls, while Shan Masood blasted a rapid 34 off just 11 balls, injecting much-needed momentum at the death.

Pakistan managed to post 107/7 in 10 overs, a total that looked modest on paper but proved more than enough given the quality of their bowling attack.

Australia’s Chase – Pakistan’s Bowlers Seal the Sweep

Australia’s chase never gained traction as Pakistan’s bowlers struck early and often. David Warner was run out for 3, setting the tone for another shaky Australian innings. While small cameos came from Mitchell Starc (13) and Steve Smith (12*), wickets continued to tumble under relentless pressure.

The bowling unit operated with precision, highlighted by a sharp spell from Shadab Khan, who claimed last 2 wickets without conceding a run, and strong support from Haris Rauf, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Muhammad Abbas. Australia were bowled out for 76 in 7.2 overs, falling well short of the target.

Zampa’s All-Round Effort Stands Out

Despite Australia’s defeat, Adam Zampa delivered a standout individual performance, scoring a quick 8 off 5 balls and claiming an impressive 4/17 in 2 overs, earning him Player of the Match honors in the final game.
