Johnson&#8217;s impressive spell of 5-26 proved pivotal, as he dismantled the top order, dismissing Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Agha, and later, <!-- -->Usman Khan<!-- -->, who had scored a defiant 52. <br \/>Despite Irfan Khan&#8217;s unbeaten 37, Pakistan fell short, being bowled out for 134 with two balls to spare in their innings.<br \/>Earlier, Australia elected to bat first and got off to a blistering start, reaching 50 runs in just 3.1 overs, courtesy of Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short&#8217;s aggressive batting. <\/p>\n<p>However, Pakistan&#8217;s bowlers fought back, with Haris Rauf and Abbas Afridi taking four and three wickets, respectively, to restrict Australia to 147-9, despite several dropped catches.<br \/>While Pakistan won the preceding one-day international series 2-1, Australia have taken control of the T20I series with their 29-run victory in the rain-shortened opener and this 13-run win. <br \/>The teams will now head to Hobart for the third and final match on Monday.<br \/>Johnson&#8217;s outstanding performance with the ball was the standout aspect of the match, as he became the first Australian seamer to claim a five-wicket haul in a T20I since 2010. <br \/>His ability to strike early and maintain pressure throughout the innings played a crucial role in Australia&#8217;s series-clinching victory.<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
