LAHORE<\/strong>: Mohammad Nawaz claimed a brilliant five-wicket haul as Pakistan crushed Australia by 111 runs on Sunday to complete a clean 3-0 sweep of the T20I series at Gaddafi Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emphatic win capped Pakistan\u2019s preparations for the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026, set to be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chasing a stiff target of 208, Australia were bundled out for just 96 in 16.5 overs as Nawaz led a dominant bowling display with figures of 5 for 18. Shaheen Shah Afridi took two wickets, while Abrar Ahmed and Naseem Shah claimed one each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcus Stoinis top-scored for Australia with 23, while Cameron Green made 22. Only Josh Philippe also reached double figures with 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Pakistan posted 207 for 6 after opting to bat first. Saim Ayub anchored the innings with a fluent 56, while Babar Azam remained unbeaten on 50. Shadab Khan provided late fireworks with a rapid 46 off 19 balls, helping Pakistan surge past the 200 mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Dwarshuis was Australia\u2019s most successful bowler, picking up two wickets, as Pakistan sealed the series in commanding fashion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
