LAHORE (Web Desk): Pakistan spinners created a rare T20 record by taking all 10 Australian wickets in Lahore, delivering a historic moment for cricket fans.

In a remarkable feat in T20 international history, Pakistan spinners set a new landmark. During the second T20 match against Australia in Lahore, spin bowlers dismissed the entire opposing team, making the match unforgettable for fans.

Abrar Ahmed and Shadab Khan led the attack with three wickets each. Usman Tariq picked up two wickets, while Saim Ayub and Mohammad Nawaz claimed one wicket each. Together, the spinners sent all Australian batters back to the pavilion.

This was only the 10th time in T20 international history that all wickets in an innings were taken by spinners. Among full-member teams, it was just the second such instance.

Earlier, Indian spinners achieved the same record in 2022 against West Indies in Florida, where all 10 wickets also went to spin bowling.

Pakistan sealed a dominant win in the second T20 of the three-match series. Batting first, the Green Shirts scored 198 runs for the loss of five wickets in 20 overs.

Australia were bowled out for just 108 runs in the 16th over, handing Pakistan a massive 90-run victory and a decisive 2-0 lead in the series.

This outstanding performance by Pakistan spinners not only ensured a big win but also strengthened Pakistan’s image as a force in international bowling. Cricket fans called the achievement historic and praised the spinners for their skill and control.

This match showed the power of spin in modern T20 cricket. Pakistan used conditions smartly and attacked with confidence. The record adds strong belief ahead of bigger international challenges.
