AUS vs PAK Match Preview:
Australia triumphed over Pakistan in the first T20I at the Gabba, Brisbane, securing a 29-run victory in a rain-curtailed contest. Reduced to seven overs per side, Australia batted first and amassed a formidable 93/4, fueled by Glenn Maxwell’s explosive 43 runs off 19 deliveries.
Maxwell’s blistering innings, adorned with five boundaries and three sixes, received able support from Marcus Stoinis’s unbeaten 21 off 7 balls. Mohammad Abbas Afridi proved Pakistan’s most effective bowler, claiming two wickets.
In reply, Pakistan crumbled against Australia’s disciplined attack, succumbing to 64/9. Xavier Bartlett and Nathan Ellis spearheaded the Australian bowling, each capturing three wickets, while Adam Zampa contributed two. Abbas Afridi’s valiant 20* off 10 balls proved insufficient to revive Pakistan’s chase.
With this victory, Australia assumes a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. As the teams shift focus to the November 16 showdown in Sydney, Pakistan seeks redemption to level the series, while Australia aims to cement its dominance and secure the series title.
