Australia vs Pakistan First T20I
Pakistan created history by defeating Australia in the ODI series and will now hope to extend that to the T20Is. The first of the three matches will be played at the Gabba in Brisbane on Thursday, with action set to start at 1:30 p.m. IST.

- Australia vs Pakistan First T20I FAQs
I had no doubt on Pakistan winning the ODI series, especially with how they bounced back in the second match. Can they do it again in the T20Is? This format is as fickle as it gets, but the hosts can edge the visitors out, considering how Pakistan have struggled in recent times to step up their game in this format. I am putting my money on Australia winning here.
- Australia won 12 of their last 15 matches (T20Is)
- Australia won their last 4 matches against Pakistan (T20Is)
- Australia won 6 of 7 matches they played at this venue (T20Is)
- Pakistan lost all 3 completed matches against Australia away from home (T20Is)
Head to Head
Australia played Pakistan in 25 T20Is so far, with 11 wins for the Aussies and 12 for the Men in Green. One match ended in a tie, while another ended without a result.
The last four matches between these teams ended in wins for Australia since Pakistan’s last win in October 2018.
Australia Form
Australia has traditionally used this format to test players and give them game time. This time around too, they have rested a few players, and Josh Inglis will be leading the team for the first time ever.
While their exit from the T20 World Cup is still painful, Australia remains a formidable force. The likes of Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, and Marcus Stoinis give them a strong edge in terms of big hits.
There will be some notable absentees though, with Mitch Marsh, Travis Head, and Cameron Green unavailable. Nathan Ellis and Xavier Bartlett are in the squad and should get to play all three games.
Australia Team News
It could be a battle for one place between Sean Abbott and Spencer Johnson, with the former a specialist in this format.
Pakistan Form
These are the first matches in this format for Pakistan since failing to make it to the Super Eight of the T20 World Cup in June. Losing to India was as painful as losing to the USA, as Pakistan fell flat in the Caribbean and US.
There could be an instant change in the style of their play as Mohammad Rizwan takes charge in place of Babar Azam. Jason Gillespie is in temporary charge of coaching duties and will look to leave his mark.
They have the required firepower to provide quick starts, but it remains to be seen how the likes of Babar and Rizwan shape up for the demands of higher striker rates.
Pakistan Team News
Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Rizwan, Babar, and Naseem Shah remain from the team that played in the World Cup and could retain their places here.

Verdict
Pakistan is looking to script a new era in this format after failing to live up to the expectations in the last World Cup. Can they start their journey here? Australia is unlikely to give them any leeway despite missing some senior players. I am backing the hosts to start the series with a win.
