Australia faced Pakistan in the second Twenty20 international at the SCG, and the match started with a bang. Haris Rauf entered the bowling attack, and Australia quickly reached a remarkable milestone, scoring fifty runs in just 3.1 overs—setting a new record for the team in T20 cricket. Pakistan, sensing the urgency, adopted a death-bowling strategy with various deliveries. This approach paid off as they claimed their first wicket. Fraser-McGurk, who had been aggressive at the crease, was struck in the gut by a slower ball but managed to hit a short delivery high over extra cover. However, Salman Agha was positioned perfectly to backpedal and take a stunning catch, dismissing Fraser-McGurk for 20 runs off just 9 balls.
