Pakistan routs Australia by 90 runs to clinch T20 series victory – WTOP News

LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — Spinners led Pakistan to a 90-run win over Australia to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20 series on Saturday.

Australia, which fielded a much stronger side after losing the first game by 19 runs, got bowled out for 108 in 15.4 overs with leg-spinners Abrar Ahmed (3-14) and Shadab Khan (3-26) sharing bulk of the wickets.

Captain Salman Ali Agha’s 76 off 40 balls and Usman Khan’s 53 off 36 balls had earlier propelled Pakistan to 198-5 after the home team won its second straight toss and elected to bat on yet another slow Gaddafi Stadium wicket.
