The Pakistan team is currently on a tour of Australia where it has arrived to play a limited-overs series under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan. While the Pakistani team won the ODI series 2-1, their start in the three-match T20 series has been very shameful. The first match of this series played at the Gaba ground in Brisbane was interrupted by rain, due to which the match started very late and was played for 7-7 overs. In this match, the host Australia batted first and scored 93 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 7 overs. While chasing this target, the Pakistani team was able to score only 64 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in 7 overs and they had to face defeat in this match by 29 runs.
Half of the Pakistani team had returned to the pavilion with a score of just 16
Mohammad Rizwan has been made the new full-time captain of the Pakistani limited-overs team. The first T20 match for the team under his leadership was not very special. When the Pakistani team came out to chase the target of 94 runs in this match, it lost its 5 wickets for a score of just 16. This included the wicket of captain Rizwan who could not even open the account and the most experienced player of the team Babar Azam who could score only three runs. This is the lowest score ever in the T20 cricket history of the Pakistan team when they lost their 5 wickets so quickly. At the same time, for the first time in T20 International against Australia, a team lost half of its team at a score of just 16.
Bartlett and Ellis showed their magic with the ball.
If we talk about bowling from Australia in this match, then Xavier Bartlett and Nathan Ellis were amazing in both of them managed to take 3-3 wickets. Apart from this, Adam Jampa took 2 wickets while Spencer Johnson also managed to take one wicket. In this match, Maxwell scored 43 runs while Stoinis scored an unbeaten 21 runs for the Kangaroo team. Now the second match of this series will be played on November 16 at Sydney Cricket Ground.
