The match had to be heavily curtailed due to rain at the Gabba, thus resulting in it becoming a seven-overs-a-side contest. Before the T20I series, both sides took on each other in a three-match ODI series, where Pakistan grabbed a historic victory, winning a series in Australia after 22 years. Pakistan will be aiming to make history in the shortest format now. Led by Mohammad Rizwan, it will be Pakistan's first T20I, since failing to make the Super Eight at the T20 World Cup in June. Their bowling was sensational in the ODI series and they will hope to replicate that in the T20Is.
