**Sydney, Australia –** Pakistan suffered a 13-run defeat against Australia in the second T20I of their three-match series at the Sydney Cricket Ground on November 16th. Chasing 148, Pakistan were bowled out for 134, with Spencer Johnson taking a five-wicket haul. Key batsmen, including captain Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam, underperformed.

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi criticized the team’s performance on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the need for more consistent contributions from multiple players, unlike India’s reliance on match-winners. He praised Haris Rauf’s performance but suggested that Usman Khan and Irfan Khan Niazi could have made a greater impact.

The loss leaves Pakistan trailing 2-0 in the series. They will aim for a win in the final T20I. This defeat follows a string of recent losses for Pakistan in the T20I format.
