Pakistan vs Australia First T20

First T20 match between Pakistan and Australia in Gaddafi stadium at Lahore is important practice to 2026 T20 World Cup that will start in little more than week. Pakistan is going with powerful team under lead of Salman Ali Agha, and it is also bringing back such great players as Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi while Australia is using very weak team to manage load of their players. Several of best Australian players such as Glenn Maxwell and Pat Cummins are missing out this series completely to be in World Cup later and this leaves new players like Mahli Beardman with chance to play under pressure. In case of Pakistan, it can also be seen that Babar Azam getting back his skill in his home ground and continuing winning run of team in Lahore. So let's wait and see who will win.

Pak under19 batsman Farhan did not score any runs on 1 ball and was out expected to a wrong shot.Pak under19 second batsman Saim scored 40 runs and Agha scored 39 runs and their combined aim was 168 runs and Aus under19 batsman Green scored 36 runs and the second batsman Bartlett who supported Green scored 34 runs.  Both played very well in this game In Pak under19 bowling, Ahmed took 2 wickets and gave 10 runs and this try was good from his side and the other bowlers gave more runs.  In Aus under19 bowlers, everyone gave more runs but Pak under19 overall target was not that strong but Pak under19 thinking and play made the won for them.

Lahore crowd full as usual, the most excited fans were there and many of them were Pakistani supporters but when the game starts Farhan got out on the very first ball of the innings, the ball was a bit slow and Farhan got out. Also there was a big swing hence Farhan moved his front foot out and just to save from being LBW or having edge, he tipped the ball to be saved but the ball touched the upper area of bat and it was direct in the safe hands of the bowler. Pakistan lost their first wicket when there was no score on the board.

There is no doubt that Pakistan has the most cricket-loving fans in the world and lahore crowds are always welcome foreign team. In this opening match of T20 series Pakistan give outstanding performance winning the match one sided against mighty Australia. While chasing down a chaseable total of 169 runs Australia team only managed to score 146 runs in a loss of 8 wickets and lost the match 20 runs short. Pakistani spinner completely changed the match position especially Abrar Ahmed bowling spell amazing to watch picking 2 important wickets and just give only 10 runs and assisted Pakistan to win match. Pakistan all rounder saim ayub batting and bowling superb in this match, such a real talented all rounder in Pakistani team after a longe time and his alons performance assist Pakistan to lead the series with 1-0.

Well honestly it was hard to believe for rest of us that Pakistan Gona win that vital world cup preparation clash against mighty Aussies, but surprisingly even after early on sahibzada collapse and some minor contribution from rest they manage to post a trilling target and although having billester opponent lineup still they mange to restrict them below the required with heroic spell as well as innings from saim ayub, Morever quality spell from Abrar and as well as nawaz keep Aussie under thier shadow. Green shirts officially leads the series while having broke a seven years drouth against Aussies

[Compromise me]

Before the match started, I thought that Pakistan would lose today's match, but the result of the game turned out to be the opposite. While I considered Australia the favorite, Australia lost in the opening match today.
A comparative analysis of the first 10 overs shows that Australia and Pakistan were able to maintain the same run rate, but Australia's lower order batsmen were unable to finish properly, which is why they lost today's match despite having the potential to win.

Pakistan International T20 cricket team played very well in this match And Salman Ali Agha played brilliant inning by playing with good strike rate which was 144 in this match. Saim Ayub performance was also great in this match because he made 40 runs in just 22 balls and strike rate was 181 in this match and he hit 2 sixes And 3 fours in this match. Adam Zampa did great bowling in this match and he took 4 wickets in this match but batters could not chase the score in this match.Abrar Ahmed took 2 wickets in this match and his role was crutial in this match. Saim ayub was awarded as player of the match because he gave all round performance in this match when it was requirement of the team.

To be honest I will praise here the Pakistani bowlers behind the today's win. I actually assumed that Pakistan was going to lose to Australia in this match and accepted it at the same time. Pakistan could be whitewashed by Australia in this T20 series even if the Pakistan team performed averagely in terms of batting performance. Against a strong Australian batting line-up, Pakistani bowlers performed well. In this case, Abrar Ahmed played a crucial role by giving away only ten runs in 24 balls and taking two wickets at the same time. He basically broke the confidence of the Australian team in the end.
Anyway, this is the last match. What are your thoughts on the upcoming match? Which team can win?

Pakistan beat Australia in first game of T20I series by 22 runs in famous win in Gaddafi stadium at Lahore where it was first time two countries met after seven years. Star of night was Saim Ayub who got award of Player of the Match due to his fast 40 runs and two important wickets including dangerous Travis Head who ruined Australian run chase at early stage. Batting of Pakistan was poor after its good show at start, but Salman Ali Agha captain of Pakistan, had plan of using four spinners, and it worked perfectly as Abrar Ahmed (2/10) and others stopped middle order of Australian team in slow pitch. This win brings winning run of Pakistani team in Lahore to seven games and places Green Shirts in great mental position to continue their play in next match on January 31 and coming match at World Cup.

The target of 169 runs was not big. I thought Australia would win the match. But Pakistan won the match by a margin of 22 runs. Pakistan was able to win because of the controlled bowling of the bowlers. Abrar Ahmed bowled the most controlled bowling among the pakistani bowlers. He took two wickets in  4 overs. But the most interesting thing is that he gave  away only 10 runs in 4 overs. Besides, Mohammad nawaz took one wicket by giving away 25 runs in 4 overs.

South Africa won the first match by a margin of 9 wickets but today they have to chase 221 runs to win the match. From West Indies side, we saw good hitting by Brandon King, Shimron Hetmyer and Sherfane Rutherford. Now it's job of West Indies bowler to win the game because they have a huge target to defend. Aiden Markram got out quite early but Quinton de Kock is still on the crease, to win the game West Indies bowler need wicket of de kock as early as possible. After 5 overs South Africa score is 55 runs and required rate is 11 runs per over. 

The West Indies team is going through a very bad time. They are not able to perform well in any match. Despite  giving a huge target of 222 runs against south africa, the team lost badly.

The West Indies batsmen did their duty  properly. With the help of Hetmyre's 75 runs off 42 balls and rutherford's 57 runs off 24 balls, the team was able to collect a huge amount of 221 runs. But the bowlers' poor bowling led to their defeat. South africa easily reached the target of victory. Quinton de kock was able to play an incredible innings of 115 runs off 49 balls. In addition, ryan rickelton was unbeaten on 77 runs off 36 balls. None of the bowlers  in the West Indies squad could  bowl under control.

The big news from the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup is that Pakistan team has booked their air tickets to Sri Lanka in order to participate in the tournament. And this leaves the BCB isolated. One of the main reasons why Bangladesh pulled out from the tournament was due to the assurances given by the PCB. Now PCB themselves are sending the team to the world cup without any issues. Uganda was probably hoping that Pakistan would pull out and the ICC would give them the wildcard entry. Unfortunately for them, it is not going to happen this time. Next time, maybe they should perform better in the qualifier tournament.

Move of Pakistan to join in 2026 T20 World Cup has left Bangladesh alone because they are only big team that will not take part in event after they were denied security permission by their government. Despite fact that Pakistan had at first helped in effort of Bangladesh towards different schedule, PCB ended up staying there since they were offered split model in which their games were to be held in Sri Lanka and they risked facing huge fines and bans given by ICC.

Since Bangladesh failed to send their confirmation within set deadline, they were, technically, replaced with Scotland as they were third in line in terms of rankings, and so Uganda never had chance of getting the extra spot. Decision by Pakistan to attend makes sure that huge India vs Pakistan game keeps taking place, while Bangladesh remains viewer and takes legal action. Although it is politically bad situation, games will go on in February with Scotland replacing Bangladesh in Group C.

The West Indies team is going through a very bad time. They are not able to perform well in any match. Despite  giving a huge target of 222 runs against south africa, the team lost badly.

The West Indies batsmen did their duty  properly. With the help of Hetmyre's 75 runs off 42 balls and rutherford's 57 runs off 24 balls, the team was able to collect a huge amount of 221 runs. But the bowlers' poor bowling led to their defeat. South africa easily reached the target of victory. Quinton de kock was able to play an incredible innings of 115 runs off 49 balls. In addition, ryan rickelton was unbeaten on 77 runs off 36 balls. None of the bowlers  in the West Indies squad could  bowl under control.

I think the pitch was batting friendly, the bowling line of both the teams was not good, but we can say that the South African bowlers did better than the West Indies bowlers. The result of the match could have been different if the West Indies bowlers could have done a little better. Do you think the West Indies team can do well in the upcoming T20 World Cup with such a bad bowling line? So their bowling line needs to improve. However, South Africa chased down a target of 222 runs in this match which surprised everyone. South Africa won with great performances from Ryan Rickelton and Quinton de Kock. Quinton de Kock scored his second century in T20I which is very commendable. Already, South Africa is leading 2-0 in this series, now South Africa will try to whitewash West Indies.

[Out of mind]

England's performance against Sri Lanka in the ODI series was very good, due to which they defeated the Sri Lankan team and won the ODI series. Today, the Sri Lanka vs England T20 series will be held and these matches will be exciting between the two teams. Especially since the Sri Lankan team has lost the series against England, they will improve their game a lot to defeat England in the T20 series. Although currently England has enough good batsmen and it is said that in that case, the England players will play their best to defeat Sri Lanka. However, the team that wins the first T20 match will be ahead in the series and will have more confidence to win the series later.

This time Abishek gone on the very first ball and then followed by SKY for 8 run. So this chase can be a real test for the unexposed Indian middle order and also they will get some game time which is good.

Sanju should play responsibly and hang on for sometime while letting Rinku and upcoming batters to go for the big shots.

One of the main reasons why the Indian team lost this match was the rapid fall of wickets, but I will blame the top order batsmen where the Indian team lost due to the dismissal of these three players Abhishek Sharma, Suraya Kumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya. Because these three top order batsmen who are very experienced in playing long shots, the importance of these three batsmen for the Indian team in this match is very less. If the top order batsmen could have performed patiently and calmly like in a unique match, then they would have definitely created enough chances to win.

Due to the poor start, the balls were decreasing, and the required run rate was increasing, which made the struggle for the Indian team and the middle order was also struggling.

Then Shivam Dube, with an extraordinary game play, scored up to 60 runs in just 23 balls. With 7 sixes and 3 fours, he was the highest run scorer in team India and also his strike rate was magical at 282 but still at the end of the day, team India lost the match and now we can only assume to have better luck for the next matches.

In case of Pakistan, it can also be seen that Babar Azam getting back his skill in his home ground and continuing winning run of team in Lahore. So let's wait and see who will win.

Honestly I didn't have much hope of Pakistan winning, Doesnt matter if Most the Aussies weren't available but still they are Aussies. How Travis Head started his Innings I got more sure that Pakistan has to Lose but Saim came in clutch and made him play a wrong shot. Luck was also incolved a little in Pakistan's Win. Said played Great with The bat and the bowl and at such a young age did something many aged players couldn't. I only watched the Match for Babar's batting but as usual he played a wrong shot and got out. But What matters in the End is that we Won. Overall, a little improvement is required in the Team if they have to perform well in the World Cup.

Archer is back to the team, and that gives a big boost to England. But nowadays he has become really inconsistent and sometimes goes for plenty of runs. Liam Dawson and Adil Rashid will be entrusted with the spin responsibilities, and we need to see how they perform today.

You are right the way Pakistan batted everyone was afraid that they would lose to Australia because Australia is a strong team it is very rare that they lose a match but Pakistan bowlers made the match not go out of hand and after wining a lose match it gives a lot of joy and Pakistan is feeling the same joy.Sam Ayub deserved this win he worked hard in both batting and bowling and Abrar Ahmad also took 2 important wickets of his opponent as the wickets fell the Australian team came under pressure otherwise Australia would have won this match easily.Pakistan needs to be more alert than before because their batting was a little weak just like everyone expects a great performance from Babar Azam.He could not meet these expectations and he dropped 2 important catches while fielding.

Bangladesh is not a very strong team so even without them the tournament will not lose much of the viewership. So Bangladesh board is not in a position to make such demands and ICC replied that they can't intervene in the decisions of BCCI so if bangladesh cricket board wants to pull off from the ICC even because of BCCI's decision to release Mustafizur then it is on their own.

The first T20I of the three-match series between Sri Lanka and England is being played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium today. In today's match, England won the toss and invited Sri Lanka to bat. Due to bad weather, today's match has been reduced to 17 overs and at the last news, Sri Lanka has scored 76 runs for the loss of one wicket after seven overs. Kusal Mendis is at the crease with 29 runs off 14 balls and Pathum Nissanka is at the crease with 23 runs off 20 balls. These practice matches before the World Cup will be of great use in the World Cup matches, let's see how many runs Sri Lanka can score in the end.

[Bitcoin_people]

The first T20I series between Sri Lanka and England is being played, although the match has been reduced to 17 overs due to rain today. The Sri Lankan team has already lost their top order batsmen in the first innings, due to which they are batting under some pressure at the moment after losing 6 wickets. If the Sri Lankan team can play till the end without losing wickets, they can make a good score. But the batting performance of the Sri Lankan team is not very good at the moment, they may not be able to give England much of a target under pressure. And the batting performance of the England team is very good and due to their improved batting performance, they also bat well in T20I matches. In that case, I think England has the most chance of winning today's match against Sri Lanka.
