AUS vs PAK 1st T20I Key Battles
The battle between Pakistan speedster Shaheen Shah Afridi and Australian openers will be a treat to watch. Shaheen has the ability to pick wickets at the start. The pacer has troubled many great openers with his ability to swing the ball both ways. If Shaheen removes Australian openers cheaply, Pakistan could become the favourites to win the opening T20I.
Australia seamer Xavier Bartlett could be a threat to Pakistan batters in the first T20I. Bartlett plays for the Brisbane Heat, and he loves bowling at the Gabba. His pace can trouble Pakistan batters. If Bartlett picks wickets at the start, then visitors could be put under huge pressure by the host.
