Brisbane (Web Desk): Pakistan won the toss and chose to field first in the opening T20I of their three-match series against Australia at the Brisbane Cricket Ground (the Gabba) on Thursday.
Due to a rain delay, the match was shortened to just seven overs per side, with each team allotted a two-over powerplay.
In terms of bowling, two bowlers are permitted to bowl two overs each, while three bowlers can bowl one over each.
This T20I comes on the heels of Pakistan’s historic win in the third ODI, where they defeated Australia 2-1 in the three-match series.
This victory marked Pakistan’s first ODI series win on Australian soil in 22 years, with their previous win in a 50-over series dating back to 2002.
