Pakistan Aims for T20I Win vs Australia

Due to the rain and thunderstorms, the match has been reduced to seven overs. The powerplay will consist of two overs. Two bowlers can bowl two overs and three can bowl one each.

Notably, Pakistan, under newly-appointed captain Mohammad Rizwan, defeated Australia in the third ODI by eight wickets in Perth to win their first series Down Under since 2002.

The visitors lost the first match of the three-match series by two wickets, however, they staged an impressive comeback to win the series 2-1.
