Australia and Pakistan will play the first match of their three-match T20 series on November 14, 2024. The game will be held at the Sydney Cricket Ground and will begin at 8:30 PM UTC. Both teams are eager to secure a win in the opening match of the series, as it often sets the tone for the remainder of the competition. Australia will look to capitalize on their home advantage, while Pakistan will rely on their dynamic bowling attack to challenge the hosts.
Australia Team:
David Warner leads the Australian batting lineup with his aggressive approach. Marnus Labuschagne and Glenn Maxwell are expected to play key roles in the middle order, providing stability and explosive power. With the ball, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins will be the biggest threats for Pakistan’s batters.
Pakistan Team:
Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, remains one of the most consistent batters in world cricket. He will be supported by Mohammad Rizwan, who can score quickly at the top. On the bowling side, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf will pose significant challenges to Australia’s batting order.
Venue:
Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) is one of Australia’s iconic stadiums. The pitch here often offers assistance to both pace and spin bowlers, making it a challenge for batters. However, with a fast outfield, there are plenty of opportunities for high scores.
