IS IT TRUE OR IS IT PHANTASY? Pak 151 and AUS 151 should be a Tie, so Pak leads 1-0 Third T20 has yet to be played. If PAK wins the third then it wins the series 2-0, otherwise the Series will be 1-1 Tie !

Pak lost fewer wickets and scored at par so how can you say that? I know Australia team is a great team but this T20 was all but Pak win.
