PAK vs AUS 2026: Cameron Green mocks Usman Tariq’s chucking action after puzzling dismissal in Lahore

Cameron Green cut a frustrated figure following his dismissal off Usman Tariq’s bowling during the second T20I of the three-match series against Pakistan on January 31 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Green had been Australia’s lone bright spot, scoring 35 off 20 balls, before falling in the 11th over of the chase.

On the final delivery of the 11th over, Tariq cleverly paused in his run-up before delivering a fullish ball with a low release. Green attempted to clear mid-off but only managed to slice the ball off the outer edge. Shadab Khan, stationed at backward point, completed a straightforward catch to end Green’s resistance.

As he walked back to the pavilion, Green appeared unhappy with his dismissal and was seen imitating Tariq’s bowling action. Near the dugout, he continued to demonstrate the delivery to his teammates, clearly expressing his frustration at how he had been deceived by the variation.

Speaking about the match, Pakistan registered a commanding 90-run victory over Australia in the second T20I. After winning the toss, Pakistan elected to bat first and posted an imposing total of 198 for 5 in their 20 overs. The innings was anchored by captain Salman Agha, who played a fluent knock of 76 runs.

He received strong support from Usman Khan, who contributed a brisk 53, helping Pakistan maintain momentum throughout the innings. Australia’s bowlers struggled to contain the scoring, with five different bowlers picking up a single wicket each.

In response, Australia were never able to settle and were bowled out for just 108 in 15.4 overs. Green was the lone bright spot for the visitors, top-scoring with 35 runs. Pakistan’s bowlers were relentless, led by Abrar Ahmed and Shadab Khan, who took three wickets each. Their disciplined spin attack dismantled Australia’s batting lineup and secured a comprehensive win for the hosts.
