The Pakistan team is currently on a tour of Australia, where they will play a limited-overs series under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan. Although Pakistan won the ODI series 2-1, they had a very humiliating start in the three-match T20 series. The first game of this series was played at the Gabba Stadium in Brisbane. Due to rain interruption, the game started late and reached the 7-7 round. In this match, hosts Australia batted first and scored 93 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 7 overs. While chasing this target, Pakistan lost 9 wickets in 7 overs and scored only 64 runs, eventually losing by 29 runs.
When the score was only 16 points, half of the Pakistani team had returned to the venue.
Mohammad Rizwan has been appointed as the new full-time captain of Pakistan’s limited-overs side. The team’s first T20 match under his leadership was nothing special. In this match, while chasing the target of 94 runs, Pakistan lost 5 wickets and the score was reduced to 16 runs. These included the wickets of captain Rizwan, who could not even open his account, and the wickets of the team’s most experienced player, Babar Azam, who could score just three point. This was Pakistan’s lowest score in the history of T20 cricket and they lost 5 wickets so quickly. The match against Australia was the first time in a T20 international that a team lost half of the team by 16 runs.
Bartlett and Ellis perform miracles with the ball
If we talk about the performance of Australia’s bowling in this match, both Xavier Bartlett and Nathan Ellis performed well and both took 3 wickets. Apart from this, Adam Zampa managed to take 2 wickets, while Spencer Johnson also managed to take 1 wicket. Maxwell, who batted for the Kangaroos in this game, scored 43 points, while Stoinis scored an unbeaten 21 points. Now, the second match of the series will be played on November 16 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
