Pakistan vs Australia 1st T20: Match preview, toss timings, streaming

Pakistan (PAK) and Australia (AUS) will face off in the first T20I of the three-match series at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Thursday, January 29. The series will help both teams to fine tune their combinations ahead of next month's ICC T20 World Cup, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.

 

Pakistan recently traveled to Sri Lanka for a three-match series against Dasun Shanaka's team, which ended in a 1-1 draw after rain washed out the second game. Despite the draw, Pakistan showed competitive spirit throughout the series.

 

Australia, on the other hand, enters this series after an exciting Big Bash League season, where the Perth Scorchers claimed the title by defeating the Sydney Sixers. The Australian squad is packed with talent and comes into the series as the favourites. Their strong squad, along with their recent form in T20 cricket, makes them a formidable opponent.

 

However, Pakistan should not be underestimated. While Australia may be the favourites, Pakistan has proven time and again that they can rise to the occasion, making this series an exciting contest. Fans can expect a thrilling showdown when these two teams take the field.
