Pakistan vs Australia T20I Series, Schedule, Venues, Squads, Head to Head Record

After making big changes in the squad, Pakistan have landed in Australia for a 3-match T20I series. Australia, on the other hand, have made an emphatic start to their season by whitewashing Sri Lanka 3-0. With Steve Smith and David Warner back, they are looking a formidable force in white ball cricket again.

Playing Australia in Australia is very challenging for any subcontinent team and that’s because the Australian pitches are bouncy. There is extra bounce on those pitches off the good length area and the subcontinent batsmen find it hard to manage that extra bounce.

It’s going to be extremely difficult for Pakistan to beat the Kangaroos in their own backyard. They might be the no. 1 T20I team in the world, but they are still going into this series as the underdogs.
