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.
The action now shifts to the second T20I, scheduled for today, January 31 at the same venue, with Pakistan holding the advantage and two matches still to play.

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
