Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd T20I, Australia tour of Pakistan, 2026 - Player Highlights

Mohammad Nawaz to Ben Dwarshuis, 1 run, tossed up around off, Dwarshuis pats it square on the off-side and gets off the mark. Nawaz finishes a superb spell - 4-0-18-5

Mohammad Nawaz to Connolly, out Stumped!! Nawaz has a 5-fer. Another smart piece of bowling. He saw Connolly shimmy down the wicket, shortened the length and gets it to spin in, Connolly can't keep it out as the ball ends up down leg, Khawaja Nafay collects it cleanly and has ample time to remove the bails. Connolly tries to get back in but is well short of the crease. That could have been called a wide but the new rules allows Nawaz to get away with it. Connolly st Khawaja Nafay b Mohammad Nawaz 0(2)

Mohammad Nawaz to Connolly, no run, 86.5ks flighted outside off, Connolly attempts the sweep and misses. He played for the turn and there wasn't any

Mohammad Nawaz to Josh Philippe, out Caught by (sub)Sahibzada Farhan!! Fourth wicket for Nawaz. He's been outstanding tonight. Tossed up on off and middle, Philippe does not sit down fully and hence is not able to control the sweep, gets more of a top-edge and the ball skies towards deep backward square, Farhan comes in and slides forward to complete the catch.

Mohammad Nawaz to Cameron Green, out Bowled!! Ufff! That's an absolute beauty. Second wicket in the over for Nawaz. Both set batters back in the dugout. This was a top nut - flighted delivery, drifts in and draws Green forward, he lunges to play the drive but the ball spins past his outside edge, crashes into off-stump. Not much he could have done there especially in this format. Australia are five down and staring down the barrel. Cameron Green b Mohammad Nawaz 22(24) [4s-2]

Mohammad Nawaz to Matt Renshaw, no run, was that a drop? Tossed up outside off, Renshaw sits down and nails the sweep backward of square. The ball was traveling and Ashraf leaps up and can't hang on. That was a catch and it is put down. Yes, it was hit hard but you need to take those at this level. Pakistan will hope it does not hurt them..

Mohammad Nawaz to Matthew Short, out Caught by Babar Azam!! Excellent catch by Babar. Both openers back in the hut. Nawaz too strikes in his first over. Flighted delivery, drifts in and straightens a tad, Short looks to loft down the ground but the hint of turn catches the outside half of the bat, the ball skies beyond mid-off and Babar charges in from the deep, slides on his back and hangs on.
