Toss Pakistan selected to bowl vs Australia
Pakistan opted to discipline first within the first of three T20Is on the Gabba. A match that lightning and chronic rain delayed in Brisbane for the very best a part of three hours received underway as a seven-over contest. Pakistan will discipline a batting-heavy line-up, with left-arm quick bowler Jahandad Khan omitted on the final minute for wicketkeeper-batter Sahibzada Farhan. Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf all play, whereas Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan – who skippers the T20 aspect for the primary time – are slotted in to open.
Australia captain Josh Inglis admitted he would have fielded first, too. A lot of their high 5 is unchanged from the ODI sequence, with Adam Zampa the specialist spinner, whereas Tim David comes into the center order. Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis and Spencer Johnson spherical out the bowling assault.
A seven-over sport means two bowlers can bowl a most of two overs, with no different bowlers allowed multiple. The powerplay consists of two overs.
Australia: 1 Jake Fraser-McGurk, 2 Matt Brief, 3 Josh Inglis (capt & wk), 4 Glenn Maxwell, 5 Tim David, 6 Marcus Stoinis, 7 Aaron Hardie, 8 Xavier Bartlett, 9 Nathan Ellis, 10 Adam Zampa, 11 Spencer Johnson
Pakistan: 1 Babar Azam, 2 Mohammad Rizwan (capt & wk), 3 Sahibzada Farhan, 4 Usman Khan, 5 Salman Agha, 6 Irfan Khan, 7 Abbas Afridi, 8 Shaheen Shah Afridi, 9 Haseebullah Khan, 10 Haris Rauf, 11 Naseem Shah
