Maxwell, pacers give Australia 1-0 lead
Australia has taken a 1-0 lead in the T20I series against Pakistan, thanks to Glenn Maxwell's explosive batting and a strong performance from their pace trio.
In a rain-affected match reduced to seven overs per side, Australia posted an impressive total of 93/4. Maxwell was the star of the show, hitting 5 fours and 3 sixes in his 19-ball 43. He used the reverse scoop to great effect and took on the Pakistani bowlers with ease ¹.
The Pakistani team struggled to chase down the target, with none of their batsmen able to make a significant impact. They eventually finished with a total of 64/9 in 7 overs, with Abbas Afridi top-scoring with 20 runs.
The Australian pace trio of Nathan Ellis, Xavier Bartlett, and Spencer Johnson was too good for the Pakistani batsmen, taking regular wickets and restricting their scoring. Ellis was particularly impressive, taking 3 wickets for just 9 runs in his 2 overs ¹.
Overall, it was a convincing win for Australia, and they will look to build on this momentum in the remaining matches of the series.
