Skipper Salman Agha hit his highest score in the shortest format before Pakistan's spinners routed Australia by 90 runs in the second Twenty20 international in Lahore on Saturday.

Agha hit a 40-ball 76 and Usman Khan smashed a 36- ball 53 as Pakistan made 198-5, their highest-ever T20I total against Australia. This was enough for Pakistan's spin quintet who shared all ten wickets between them with Abrar Ahmed returning the best figures of 3-14 and Shadab Khan finishing with 3-26.

Australia were routed for 108 in 15.4 overs, giving Pakistan their biggest T20I victory over Australia eclipsing the 66- run win in Abu Dhabi in 2018.
