After securing a historic 2-1 win over Australia in the three-match ODI series last week, Pakistan will face the 2021 T20 World Cup winners in a three-match T20I series, which is set to start on Thursday (November 14). The series opener is scheduled to take place at The Gabba in Brisbane, and the next two matches will be played on Saturday (November 16) and Monday (November 18) in Sydney and Hobart, respectively.
In the absence of Mitchell Marsh and many other top players, wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis will lead the hosts, and Men in Green will play under the leadership of Mohammad Rizwan. Rizwan, who became the second Pakistan captain to win a bilateral ODI series in Australia, will be eager to complete the double and win the shortest format series as well.
