Pakistan registered a brilliant win in the three-match ODI series wherein the Australian batters weren’t able to play the Pakistani pacers. However, the Australian team put back the pressure back on Pakistan when they came out to play the first T20I match. Pakistan have been among the least performing teams in T20I cricket and suffered a setback after losing to low ranked teams in the T20 World Cup. Pakistan will have to bring in their ‘A’ game if they wish to level the T20I series against Australia.
