MATCH: Australia vs Pakistan
DATE: November 14, Thursday
TIME: 1:30 pm IST
VENUE: Brisbane Cricket Ground, Woolloongabba, Brisbane
TOURNAMENT: 1st T20I 2024
Australia (AUS) and Pakistan (PAK) are set to take on each other in the first T20I of the ongoing white-ball series. Both sides recently faced off in an ODI series, where after losing the first ODI, Pakistan managed to register wins in the second and third games and defeated Australia in a series their own backyard for the first time since 2002.
Both sides will now face off in a three-match T20I series, with the first T20I to be played at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, Woolloongabba, Brisbane, on Thursday, November 14. While the Men in Green will hope to put in a similar showing to that of the ODI series, Australia will be hoping to improve their performance after a forgettable series.
The surface at the Brisbane Cricket Ground is preferred by the pacers. The batters will need to stay patient in the early stages of the innings. Opting to bowl first after winning the toss could prove to be a wise decision.
