With the series already lost, Australia will hope they can register a consolation win in the third and final T20 of the series against Pakistan. The game will begin at 3am (AEDT) in Dubai and you can follow all the live scores and coverage with The Roar.
While being thoroughly outplayed in the first game, Australia looked like they had given themselves a chance to level the series in the second.
When Pakistan batted though, the script at one point looked like it was headed in the same direction as the first game.
At one stage, Pakistan were 1 for 99 in the 14th over and a score of 160 looked like it was on the cards. That’s when Mohammad Hafeez fell for 40 and some stingy bowling over the next couple of overs, coupled with Fakhar Zaman’s wicket pegged Pakistan back.
Faheem Ashraf smacked a 10-ball 17 to help his side and had it not been for that last over from Andrew Tye which went for 15 runs, Australia might have even won the game. As it turned out, Ashraf’s last over shenanigans helped Pakistan get up to nearly 150 – they ended at 6 for 147 – when they could easily have been restricted to a lot lesser.
Much like in the opener, Australia didn’t start well but at least here, they were pegged back by a stunning run-out call. D’Arcy Short was given run-out at the non-striker’s end when it seemed like the bat had been grounded – the third umpire ruled the benefit of doubt in favour of the fielding side.
That led to two more wickets, Imad Wasim sending back Chris Lynn and Shadab Khan getting the better of Aaron Finch (for a struggling 10-ball three). At the half-way mark, Australia hadn’t lost any more wickets but scored just 53.
Two more wickets fell soon after with runs difficult to come by, and when Ben McDermott was run-out to what has been compared with some of Jonty Rhodes’ best run-out work, Australia needed 70 from 30 balls with four wickets in hand. The writing was on the wall.
That’s when Glenn Maxwell pumped some life into the game with a 33-ball 50, that included a few maximums, but Hasan Ali restricted the Aussies to just 10 from the 19th over. Left to score 23 for a win, Australia were left 12 short.
Going into this game, they will have a template on how to ensure they can keep wickets in hands, but will Australia be able to pluck those Pakistan wickets in the first place? Can Australia bat first this time around to set a score up without the pressure of a target?
Prediction
Australia showed they can compete but they lacked the finishing touches in the previous game, a match they should have won. Expect them to win this one and go home with something under their belt.

Runs and wickets! Mitch Marsh has ensured his Test spot with this performance! Probably.

It would take something 'special' to beat Australia's batting performance in the first T20I but this has been quite appalling in its own right. Australia were chasing 151 for a win and had scored 20 in the first over of the chase... ...131 off 19 with all their wickets in hand should have been easy. Well, at least it shouldn't have been as difficult as they made it out in the end. Due credit to the Pakistani bowlers to have come back the way they did in the end, ripping through the top-order and then squeezed the pressure and choked the run-flow on a tough pitch. First time ever Pakistan have whitewashed Australia. 3-0 it is. Who would have thought this after that brilliant draw in the first Test. That's that from me, hope to see you around soon.

Gone! Caught, Australia have been bowled out. Slower one from Hasan and it's hit straight to the cover fielder. Bowled out for 117.

Another one. Nine down. Hasan Ali gets his celebration out as Sarfaraz takes a brilliant catch off the Tye inside edge. Nine down, 43 to win with 12 balls remaining.

Five runs from the Shadab over and could well have had a wicket too - dropped catch at the deep point fence. 45 needed from 18.

Some of the dismissals from Aussie batsmen this series have been appalling. I never thought I would ever say this about an Australian cricket team. But this team is taking their fans for granted.. Aussie cricket fans deserves more than this. It's not just about losing. .. the way the batsmen are repeating the same mistake.

Two singles from that Usman over. Two wickets too. 8/101 in 16.

Run-out. The second one of the innings and second wicket in as many balls. Coulter-Nile jabbed at it, ran off for a single and wasn't sent back in time. Run-out for a duck. 8/99 in the 16th

Gone! Ripper, what a catch... ...Short has pulled a back of a length delivery towards wide long-on and Malik has rushed to his left to pull off a ripper! Caught, seven down. 7/99 in 15.1

A seven-run over from Shadab but now that is not enough. It keeps Australian in the game but not by much. 52 needed off 30.

And now Marsh departs. He was getting bogged down, came down the track and holes out to long-on. Well taken by Malik who was running in to grab it. Six down. Miles ahead before they can sleep.

What an over from Hasan. Just two off it. And what that means is the required-rate is up to nearly 10 an over. With just five wickets standing that's not going tor be too easy. 59 needed from 36.
