Australia and Pakistan are set to clash in the first T20I of their three-match series on November 14, at The Gabba in Brisbane. This encounter comes on the heels of Pakistan’s historic ODI series victory in Australia, marking their first such win in 22 years, which has bolstered their confidence heading into the T20 format.

Australia are looking to bounce back after a disappointing ODI series. They will be captained by Josh Inglis, who steps in for the injured Mitchell Marsh and unavailable Travis Head. The squad includes notable players such as Glenn MaxwellMarcus Stoinis, and Tim David, who are expected to lead the batting charge. The bowling attack will rely on Adam Zampa and Sean Abbott to provide crucial breakthroughs.

Pakistan, under the leadership of Mohammad Rizwan, aim to maintain their winning momentum. The team features star players like Babar Azam and pacers Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf, who have been instrumental in their recent success. Pakistan’s bowling unit performed exceptionally well in the ODIs, restricting Australian batter from reaching half-centuries, and they will look to replicate this dominance.

  • Date and time: November 14, 08:00 am GMT/ 06:00 pm Local/ 01:30 pm IST
  • Venue: The Gabba, Brisbane.

The Gabba Pitch Report:

The pitch at The Gabba in Brisbane is renowned for its pace and bounce, making it a favourable venue for fast bowlers. Historically, the surface tends to offer assistance to seamers in the initial overs, with the ball coming onto the bat nicely, which can lead to high-scoring games as the innings progresses. The average first-innings score in T20 internationals at this ground hovers around 166 runs, indicating that batting becomes easier as the match unfolds. However, teams batting first may want to capitalize on the early conditions to set a challenging target. Weather forecasts suggest a possibility of thundershowers during the match, which could affect play and impact strategies, particularly regarding batting order and bowling changes. Overall, expect an exciting contest where both teams will need to adapt quickly to the evolving conditions on this dynamic pitch.
