When Pakistan arrived in Australia every one was hoping that this would be a challenging tour for Australia but nobody even thinks that Pakistan will not gonna find a single victory on the tour which have been the case so fare but now T20 match will be Pakistan’s last chance to grab a win over dominating Australia.
3-0 whitewash in Tests and 5-0 in ODIs completely destroyed the whole Pakistan cricket, on the field and off the field as well. Mohammad Yousuf is not in the playing squad, Younis has retired from T20 cricket and their captain Shahid Afridi is facing 2 match banned so former captain Shoaib Malik will gonna lead the side in that Twenty20 which will be played on february5 in Melbourne.
Twenty20 Champions will look for thier 1st win in Australia
Australia v Pakistan, only T20, Melbourne
Good news for Pakistan is the inclusion of destructive opener Imran Nazir, he can smash the ball all over the park in no time so this will be a big boost for Pakistan batting line.
T20 specialist Umar Gull will definitely gonna lead the bowling department because he is the No.1 bowler in Twent20 cricket simply because of his great bowling at the death, Australia tour haven’t been much enjoyable for Umar Gull so he will be looking to catch some eyes in that Twenty20 match.
Pakistan is the World Champions and never lost a T20 game against Australia so this will be a positive factor
for the tourists. Australia has struggled in 20 over format so new captain Michael Clarke is very excited with his young team and hoping to get their 1st win in Twenty20 against Pakistan.
