Pakistan continued their losing spree against Australia in the T20I series on Monday, November 18. They lost the third game by seven wickets in Hobart. As a result, the Men in Green were whitewashed by a 3-0 margin Down Under, days after winning the ODI series 2-1.

Batting first, the Men in Green were bundled out for 117 in 18.1 overs. Babar Azam was the only bright spot, scoring 41 runs off 28 balls, including four boundaries. Aaron Hardie starred with the ball for the hosts, returning with three wickets, while Adam Zampa and Spencer Johnson took two each.

This was the third instance in as many games that the visitors suffered a batting collapse. They were reduced to 64/9 in a seven-over game before getting bundled out for 134 in the second match.

"We didn't capitalize on the start" - Pakistan's stand-in-captain Agha Salman reacts to loss vs Australia in dead rubber

Pakistan's stand-in-captain Agha Salman reckoned that the Men in Green failed to capitalize after a good start, which cost them the game. He said in the post-match show (via ESPNcricinfo):

"I think in the middle overs, we didn't capitalize on the start. Lots of positives. The way Usman batted, the way Jahandad bowled. These youngsters will come good."

"It's obviously a big achievement winning the ODI series but we could have done much better in the T20Is," he added.

The Men in Green will next play a three-match ODI and T20I series in Zimbabwe. The first ODI will be played in Bulawayo on November 24.
