Bowlers star, Stoinis piles on the runs as Australia takes T20 series 3-0

Australia comfortably won the third T20 clash with Pakistan in Hobart on Monday night to clean sweep the series 3-0.

The tourists started fairly well in batting first with opener Babar Azam finding 41 runs off 28 balls and No.3 Haseebullah Khan crafting 24 off 19 balls.

But Aaron Hardie (3/21), Adam Zampa (2/11) and Spencer Johnson (2/24) tied the Pakistan batters down, eventually dismissing them for 117 in the 19th over.

The bowling group starred after a sluggish start, taking 8/56 in 11 overs after Pakistan found themselves 2/64 in the seventh over.

In response, the Aussies made light work of the run chase, passing the required total in the 12th over and just three wickets down.

Marcus Stoinis was dominant with the bat, plundering an unbeaten 61 from just 27 deliveries which included five fours and five sixes.

He won Player of the Match for efforts at Bellerive Oval.

Opener Jake Fraser-McGurk contributed 18 (off 11) with four boundaries while captain Josh Inglis made 27 (off 24) and also struck four boundaries.

Johnson picked up the Player of the Series award after taking eight wickets.

Now all roads lead to Perth for the first Test against India which kicks off on Friday.
