Pakistan dominated Australia in Lahore, securing a resounding 3-0 series sweep with a record-breaking 111-run victory. Pakistan posted 207-6, fueled by half-centuries from Saim Ayub and Babar Azam. Mohammad Nawaz starred with the ball, taking career-best figures of 5-18, as Australia crumbled for 96 all out in just 16.5 overs, suffering their worst T20 defeat.

The defeat marks Australia's largest margin of loss in T20 internationals, surpassing their previous record from 2005. It's a worrying sign for the Australians as they prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Australia's batting struggles continued, with only three players reaching double figures. Babar Azam's return to form is a positive for Pakistan before the tournament.

The series loss is a blow for Australia's confidence heading into the World Cup. Both teams have concluded their preparations, with Australia facing Ireland and Pakistan playing the Netherlands. In related news, England will play Australia in the U19 World Cup semi-finals after India's win over Pakistan secured their spot.

This comprehensive victory highlights Pakistan's strength in the shorter format. The Pakistan Cricket Board also announced they will not fulfill their fixture against India at the T20 World Cup. Next up, all eyes will be on the upcoming T20 World Cup to see how both teams perform.
