Pakistan, Australia to Face off in First T20I Tomorrow

SYDNEY: Following clean sweep by the hands of inexperienced Sri Lanka Pakistan to face strong Australia, who cleaned up Sri Lanka in T20 series, tomorrow (Wednesday) in the first T20 of three-match series.

The green shirts will face Australia in the first T20 international of the series in Abu Dhabi.

Pakistan still topped the International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 ranking and will have to win at least one match to retain their first position in ICC ranking.

The match will start at 9:00 pm. Second and third T20 matches will be played in Dubai on October 26th and 28th respectively.

Earlier, Pakistan won two-match Test series against Australia by 1-0.

Of the 20 times these two have faced each other in T20Is, Pakistan have won 13 and Australia just seven, giving the presently weak and meek-looking tourists a whopping win percentage of 65 against the Men in Yellow.

Then take a look at the line-up that dominated a Cricket Australia XI on Thursday. Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Sohail, Mohammad Rizwan (has two ODI centuries against Australia), Asif Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Khushdil Shah, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Irfan and Wahab Riaz.
