New Delhi. Australia defeated Pakistan by 13 runs in the second T20 match to win the 3-match series. The Pakistan team needed 16 runs to win in the last game but their batsmen failed to give the team victory. Credit goes to fast bowler Nathan Ellis who bowled brilliantly in the final over to give his team the series win. Ellis didn’t even have to throw the full 6 balls. He got the job done in just four balls. Pakistan are yet to beat Australia in T20 at home.
