BRISBANE – Team Pakistan is eyeing redemption in the second T20I after a humiliating loss in the first game of the match series against Australia today November 16, 2024.
The second game between Kanagroors and Men in Green will take place at 01:00 PM PST.
In the first game, the Kangaroos stunned visitors by 29 runs, after heavy rain. Australia, batting first after winning the toss, posted 93-4 off just 42 balls, thanks to a blistering knock by Glenn Maxwell. Aussie middle-order dynamo smashed 43 runs off 19 balls, including five fours and three sixes, providing a much-needed acceleration after Pakistan’s bowlers made early breakthroughs.
Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf dismissed Australia’s openers cheaply, but Maxwell’s aggressive innings, combined with a quick 21 not out from Marcus Stoinis, helped the hosts reach a formidable total.
Pakistan was then reduced to a disastrous 24-6. Despite a late rally from Abbas, Pakistan fell well short of the target, finishing on 63-9.
