Pakistan drew first blood in Lahore, downing Australia by 22 runs in the T20I series opener.

Saim Ayub starred with a dynamic all-round performance, smashing 40 off 22 balls and later striking with figures of 2/29. Abrar Ahmed added the finishing touch with a miserly spell of 2/10, ensuring the hosts clinched a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

Australia Squad: Mitchell Marsh(c), Travis Head, Matthew Short, Josh Inglis(w), Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Owen, Ben Dwarshuis, Xavier Bartlett, Adam Zampa, Sean Abbott, Mahli Beardman, Matt Renshaw, Cameron Green, Matthew Kuhnemann, Josh Philippe, Jack Edwards, Cooper Connolly

Nafay and u tariq should play today need to try these guys before the world cup nafay if he does well he can replace u khan as keeper batsmen still concern is fakhar and babar they bring nothing for the team on their current form
 
Hesson and Co are chicken hearted tbh, World cup is few days ago and yet they are still unable to fit Nafay in the playing11. Even though they can easily switch places with Fakhar or even the heck Usman but whatever.

Need to take positive steps, otherwise we might see 1st stage exit AGAIN.

Everything is already compromised with babar in the squad
 
Wait a minute let me get the balance right so they drop fakhar which is fine but replace him with a bowler while its our batting which is weak and now looks even pathetic
and we are playing 6 spin options, i have never seen this many , and Total 8 bowling options,.while it's our batting that sucks, and some bowler won't even be able to bowl full quota.
 
Usman Khan was exposed by Hasaranga in Sri Lanka as he was unable to pick his wrongun and was more often than not very late on him.

He was exposed by Zampa too first ball last game and should have been out having completely misread the wrongun

So either he gets his act together or Pakistan stop bullsh..ng about what his utility really is.

He’s been a fine keeper though

Usman Khan doesnt need to be exposed, bro his batting style, technique is gully mohalla level tbh. 30 matches are more than enough to test someone, hes an utter failure.
 
Not every day Salman's going to perform at no. 3. There's law of averages too. Other batters will need to step up for Pakistan in WT20
 
Bring Babar in after Faheem Ashraf. Let the other batters take the pressure and score freely first, then he can come in later and anchor the innings in the final overs with the tail.
