Australia Clinches T20 Series Against Pakistan

Australia secured a 2-0 lead in the T20I series against Pakistan with a 13-run victory at the Sydney Cricket Ground, thanks to Spencer Johnson's impressive five-wicket haul of 5/26. After batting first, Australia managed only 147 runs as Pakistan's Haris Rauf and Abbas Afridi excelled with the ball, claiming 4/22 and 3/17 respectively. Pakistan's chase faltered early, losing four wickets for just 44 runs, but Usman Khan's 52 and Irfan Khan's 37 provided some resistance. Despite their efforts, Pakistan fell short, bowled out for 134 runs. The final match will take place in Hobart on November 18, where Pakistan will look to avoid a series whitewash. Johnson's performance marks a significant milestone as he becomes one of the few bowlers to take five wickets for Australia in T20 cricket.
