Will Australia or Pakistan win the 3rd T20 and all-important series decider?
Australia vs Pakistan 2nd T20 match recap
Deaths, taxes and Steve Smith piling on runs. At this stage it may be the only three certainties in life. David Warner was finally dismissed, for 20, for the first time in 5 T20Is. That finally gave Smith a lengthy innings at the crease.
Smith once again showed why he's one of the best batsmen in the world, showcasing his unique style picking apart deliveries. Smith led Australia to a 7-wicket win, surpassing Pakistan's total of 150 with 9 balls to spare.
He finished up on 80* off 51 deliveries. His best highlight was a ridiculous back-foot cover drive that was guided through point.
Babar Azam got the Pakistan innings off to a brilliant start but his batting partners offered no resistance. That was until Iftikhar Ahmed came in at number 6 and blasted 62* off 34.
Cummins, Agar and Starc bowled superbly to Pakistan. The trio combined to restrict the run rate as Agar and Cummins both took wickets.

Australia vs Pakistan 3rd T20 match preview
Australian quick Pat Cummins won't take part in the series decider. Cummins will be rested to prepare for the upcoming Test matches beginning at the Gabba on 21 November, also against Pakistan.
Cummins has stated his desire to play all five Tests this summer, but his previous injury history is sure to have selectors keeping a close eye on him. Expect Billy Stanlake, who covered for Mitchell Starc in the 2nd T20 against Sri Lanka, to come in as a replacement for Cummins.
Pakistan's Babar Azam has troubled Australia so far. After making 59* in the first T20 he backed it up with another 50. This time he was dismissed by Warner's rocket arm from a direct hit that came from deep in the outfield.
If he can find any support from his teammates with the bat, Pakistan could post a formidable total.
