Pakistan is favoured to get the win, but can Australia cause an upset?
pakistan vs. australia
head to head
Australia and Pakistan get together for a one-off T20 international fixture in Lahore at Gadaffi Stadium on Wednesday.
After winning the all-important test series last month, Australia has struggled to replicate that form in in the short-format having lost the ODI series 2-1.
Pakistan will be brimming with confidence heading into this game with their big hitters and tricky spinners proving a headache for the Australian batting line up.
The Aussies, however, are still the T20 World Champions, so that status must be respected here.
Not often does Australia get beaten in the short format and not respond.
But only three players of the World Cup winning squad will be available for this clash with Aaron Finch leading the charge.
Finch brings the most experience into this Australian team, however, his form with the willow has been wildly off of late.
Travis Head and Ben McDermott will have to step up again, as they attempt to in the ODI series, should runs be hard to come by from others.
Since the World Cup, Pakistan has proven to be one of the best T20 nations having dealt with Bangladesh and West Indies quite comfortably.
Shaheen Shah Afridi will head up the Pakistan bowling attack alongside fellow paceman Haris Rauf, while Shadab Khan will produce his tricky spinners.
With Australian fielding a weakened squad, Pakistan is the play here.
Suggested Bets:
Pakistan head to head at $1.71
Top Pakistan batsman B. Azam at $2.65
Top Australian batsman B. McDermott at $3.3
