Unstoppable Agha: Pakistan’s stand-in captain leads the Green Shirts to a historic 3-0 clean sweep against Australia.

Pakistan’s stand-in captain Salman Ali Agha has made good on his promise, leading the “Green Shirts” to a clinical 3-0 series whitewash against Australia at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. Following a series-clinching victory earlier, Agha had told the media his team was “hungry for more” and intended to make it a clean sweep—a goal they achieved in spectacular fashion on Sunday, February 1, 2026.

Highlights of the Final Victory:

  • Record Total: Pakistan posted a massive 207/6, anchored by Babar Azam’s record-breaking unbeaten 50 off 36 balls.
  • Australia’s Heaviest Defeat: The visitors were bundled out for just 96 runs, losing by a margin of 111 runs—their largest-ever defeat in T20I history.
  • Bowling Masterclass: Spinner Mohammad Nawaz was the pick of the bowlers, tearing through the Australian lineup with a 5-wicket haul for only 18 runs.
  • Leadership Impact: Under Agha’s aggressive leadership, Pakistan has revitalized its squad, proving their dominance just days before the T20 World Cup 2026 begins in Sri Lanka and India.
