But the Pakistani team could not repeat its performance in the three-match T20 series. Pakistan team has lost this series after losing the first two matches of the series. The second match of the series was played in Sydney. Pakistan team was a complete flop in this match. In the beginning of the match, the complete condition of the bowlers was seen and then the batsmen also disappointed a lot.
The Australian team won the toss in this match and decided to bat first. The openers also proved this decision of the captain right. The team had a great start with Matthew Short and Jake Fraser-McGurk adding 50 runs in the first 19 balls.
