Pakistan, under the new leadership of Mohammad Rizwan, aims to keep their winning momentum as they seek to make a strong impact in this format as well. Meanwhile, Aussie boys are led by Josh Inglis, stepping in for regular T20I captain Mitchell Marsh and Test and ODI captain Pat Cummins, both of whom are sitting out the series. This opens the door for emerging players like Jake Fraser-McGurk, who Australia hopes will shine bright in their absence.
The Pakistani squad is banking on a powerful pace attack that has proven effective in recent encounters. With bowlers like Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah, Pakistan’s bowling unit looks formidable and ready to challenge Australia’s batting lineup. Rizwan, known for his consistency with the bat and as a leader, will look to set a winning tone right from the first match at Brisbane’s iconic Gabba stadium.
Australian fans, despite the absence of key players, will be eager to see how the team performs under Inglis’s captaincy. The series is expected to be a hard-fought contest as Pakistan is coming with a solid momentum and Australia is craving for their comeback. In this situation, another victory on Australian soil can change Pakistan’s reputation for their bad performance in recent years.
