The Pakistan Cricket Team will face Australia in their first T20 International on Thursday, kicking off a three-match T20 series. This follows Pakistan’s recent victory in the ODI series against Australia.
According to the Pakistan Cricket Board, the first T20 match will be held on November 14, with the second and third games scheduled for November 16 and 18, respectively.
In their past T20 matchups, Pakistan and Australia have faced off 26 times, with Pakistan winning 13 matches, Australia securing 10 victories, and 3 matches either ending without a result or being abandoned.
The recent ODI series between the two teams showcased strong performances from both sides. Pakistan impressed with its batting, while Australia’s tactical plays added to the competition, giving a preview of each team’s strengths for upcoming international tournaments.
Historically, Australia’s bowling, led by Pat Cummins, has put pressure on Pakistan with sharp bouncers and precise lines. Leg-spinner Adam Zampa also proved key in the middle overs, limiting runs and taking crucial wickets.
For Pakistan, the ODI series highlighted areas for improvement, especially in spin bowling and lower middle-order stability, which could be crucial for future matches against teams like Australia.
