Pakistan seal T20I series
Pakistan clinched the three-match T20I series against Australia with an 11-run win in the second game in Dubai last night.
Set 148 to win, Australia were cut down to 73 for six before Glenn Maxwell revived hopes with a 59-run sixth-wicket partnership with pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile. Needing 23 off the last over, Coulter-Nile started with a six, but Maxwell holed out to Shaheen Shah Afridi for a 37-ball 52 and Coulter-Nile followed suit off the penultimate ball.
