**Hobart, Australia –** Australia completed a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Pakistan in the T20I series with a seven-wicket win in the final match on Monday. Marcus Stoinis’ explosive 61 not out from just 27 balls, including five sixes, powered Australia to their target of 118 with ease.
Pakistan, despite a brisk start from Babar Azam (41) who surpassed Virat Kohli’s record for most T20I runs in the process, collapsed to 117 all out in 18.1 overs. Adam Zampa (2-11) triggered the downfall, dismissing both Azam and Haseebullah Khan (24). The Pakistan bowling attack was ineffective, with Shaheen Shah Afridi (1-43) and Haris Rauf (0-34) conceding 77 runs between them in just six overs.
Australia’s earlier victories in the series included a 29-run win in a rain-shortened first match and a 13-run win in the second, thanks to Spencer Johnson’s career-best 5/26. The series win caps off a successful home campaign for Australia, who had lost the preceding ODI series 2-1 to Pakistan. Pakistan’s struggles in the T20 format continued, following their group-stage exit at the recent T20 World Cup.
