Australia vs Pakistan, 1st T20I Live Score: Pakistan win toss, opt to bowl

The fast bowlers from Pakistan, particularly Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf, played a crucial role in the ODI series, and they are expected to be key players in the T20 matches as well, likely excelling in conditions that suit them.

Their batting skills will definitely be put to the test. While One Day International pitches tend to favor bowlers, T20 conditions are anticipated to support batting more. Australia's fast bowlers, Xavier Bartlett and Spencer Johnson, who have recently returned from injuries, come with valuable experience from last season's title-winning effort with the Heat, where they were the leading wicket-takers.

Australia's Team: Matthew Short, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Josh Inglis (wicketkeeper/captain), Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Glenn Maxwell, Aaron Hardie, Sean Abbott, Adam Zampa, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Josh Philippe, and Spencer Johnson.

Pakistan Team: Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper/captain), Babar Azam, Arafat Minhas, Omair Yousuf, Haseebullah Khan, Irfan Khan, Usman Khan, Agha Salman, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Jahandad Khan, Sahibzada Farhan, Abbas Afridi, Sufiyan Muqeem.

Following their first ODI series victory in Australia in 22 years, Pakistan is now set on making T20 history, as they have yet to secure a win against Australia on their home ground. Keep up with the series on TimesofIndia.com!
