Brisbane: Riding high on the momentum of the historic ODI series victory, Pakistan will look to inflict more damage on Australia in the T20I series. The first T20I of the three-match series will be played at the iconic Gabba in Brisbane.
After winning their first ODI series on Australian soil in 22 years, Pakistan will look to script more history in the 20-over series. The Men in Green have never won a T20 international match against the Aussies on Australian soil and with no Travis Head and regular captain Mitchell Marsh, have a great opportunity to break the duck.
Both Head and Marsh are missing the T20I series after being named in the squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India.
Meanwhile, Australia will look to bounce back strongly and reclaim home dominance after the shocking ODI series loss last week.
Josh Inglis will lead a new-look Australian side, which also comprises Tim David and Nathan Ellis. Meanwhile, Josh Philippe has replaced the injured Cooper Connolly.
Pakistan, on the other hand, Arafat Minhas, Omair Yousuf, Haseebullah Khan, Jahandad Khan, Sahibzada Farhan, Abbas Afridi and Sufiyan Muqeem in their T20I squad.
Brisbane weather
The clash on November 14 promises high-octane cricket but rain is expected to disrupt the live action at the Gabba, Brisbane. The weather forecast for Thursday, November 14 predicts a high chance of rain in the afternoon. The prediction has, in fact, come true, as the toss has been delayed due to lightening and a wet outfield.
