Pakistan vs Australia 1st T20I LIVE Streaming Details: Pakistan will be up against Australia in the first T20I match at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Thursday, January 29. All the matches of the three-match series will be played at the same venue, and it will be a final preparatory assignment for both teams ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026.
Salman Ali Agha will continue to lead Pakistan, whereas Australia are being captained by the senior all-rounder Mitchell Marsh. The three-match series will be played amid the uncertainty over Pakistan's participation in the T20 World Cup 2026, which kicks off on February 7. After Bangladesh's exclusion from the mega event, Pakistan Cricket Board's stand-off with the BCCI and the ICC remains unsolved.
Australia are without some of their senior stars like Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Nathan Ellis and Glenn Maxwell, who are all set to join the World Cup squad. Mahli Beardman and Jack Edwards are both in contention to make their international debuts. The Aussies will be heading into the series on the back of a defeat in their previous assignment in the shortest format, losing 1-2 against India at home. On the other hand, Pakistan have picked a full-strength side, with Mohammad Wasim Jr added as extra pace-bowling cover for the Australia tour.
Senior pacer Haris Rauf is not part of the squad, while Shaheen Shah Afridi returns from a knee injury. All focus will be on Babar Azam, who had a disappointing outing in the recently concluded Big Bash League. The former skipper Babar has been facing heavy criticism lately for his slow strike rate in the T20I format.
