AUS vs PAK: Pakistan tour of Australia, 2024 1st T20 Match Highlights

AUS vs PAK Match highlights: Australia secured a convincing 29-run victory over Pakistan in the 1st T20 match of the Pakistan tour of Australia 2024, hosted at the renowned Gabba Stadium in Brisbane.

Rain Delays and Reduced Overs Don’t Stop Australia’s Dominance

The match was originally slated to commence at 1:30 PM, but the match faced significant delays due to heavy rain, which ultimately forced the match management to reduce the total overs to just 7. After the rain subsided, Pakistan won the toss and opted to field first, a decision that would prove harmful as they struggled to control the aggressive Australian batting lineup.

As the match began, the Australian openers launched an aggressive assault, although they faced early setbacks with the loss of their first wicket at only 16 runs. The dynamic all-rounder Glenn Maxwell quickly seized control of the innings. His explosive batting style saw him amass an impressive 43 runs off just 19 balls. Meanwhile, Marcus Stoinis played a solid innings, contributing an unbeaten 21 runs that proved vital for the team’s total.

Despite a valiant effort from Abbas Afridi, who contributed some vital runs to the scoreboard, the Pakistani batting lineup struggled to keep pace. Ultimately, they fell short in their run chase against the Australian team.
