Pakistan vs Australia 1st T20I has been reduced to 7 overs per side after persistent rain and thunder ruined the first contest of the three-match series at Brisbane.
Mohammad Rizwan is set to take charge of his first game as the captain of the national team when the action commences. The wicket-keeper batter could become the first captain to win his opening two series down under with a triumph in the T20I series.
If the first T20I is washed out, the advantage shifts to Australia rather than Pakistan as the hosts will need to win just a single game to keep their pristine record at home intact.
The 1st T20I between Pakistan and Australia is underway.
Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan (c/wk), Sahibzada Farhan, Usman Khan, Salman Agha, Irfan Khan, Abbas Afridi, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haseebullah Khan, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah.
