Pakistan vs Australia 1st T20 - How to Stream the match without paying a single rupee in India

The Pakistani National Cricket Team, under the captaincy of Agha Salman, are preparing to take on 2021 T20 World Cup winner Australia in a 3-match Twenty-Twenty series, with all the scheduled games slated to be played at Lahore's historic Gaddafi Cricket Ground. The first match of the series is currently underway at the same ground. Pakistan have trusted Salman Agha with the leadership responsibilities and they will be hoping that he can guide the 2022 T20 World Cup runners up to success under his leadership. 

Australia, captained by Mitchell Marsh, are looking to polish their playing 11 combinations in this 3-match series versus the Green Shirts and this bilateral event acts as the perfect preparatory ground for the Mighty Aussies ahead of the ICC Men's 20-20 World Cup 2026.

Australia's progress and preparedness for the T20 World Cup 2026

The Kangaroos will be entering the Pakistan T20 series on high confidence after having a successful summer on home soil, although they have chosen a squad without the presence of key players. Main stays like Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins & Maxwell have been rested in-order to ensure they remain fresh for the T20 World Cup.

Leg-spinner Adam Zampa is looking in great form with the ball and the selection of swashbuckling batter Matthew Renshaw alongside the ever-consistent Matt Short provide great versatility to the Australian squad. Considered as the most fearsome side in all formats of the game, the Kangaroos will be eager to put their bench strength to the test against the pace-heavy bowling lineup of Pakistan in Lahore's batting-friendly conditions.

After going through multiple player and leadership changes in 2025, Pakistan hopes to fortify their T20I identity under Agha Salman's captaincy. After a period of experimenting, the team is now concentrating on getting ready for the Twenty-20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka - the mega event of 2026 Salman continues to be the focal point of a team that brings back talents like former captains Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi, despite the immense responsibility of leading a team with high expectations.

With the skipper being supported by important players like spin-bowling all-rounder Shadab Khan and hard hitting batsman Fakhar Zaman as well as up-and-coming players like Saim Ayub, the Shaheens will be keen to establish the proper winning rhythm at home in order to gain momentum before the World Cup begins next week.
