Pakistan post unflattering stat in 29-run loss to Australia in rain-truncated 1st T20I

In a rain-truncated first T20I against Australia, Pakistan suffered a humiliating batting collapse, setting a new record for the lowest score at the fall of the fifth wicket.

The Men in Green were chasing a modest target of 93 runs in 7 overs, but their batting order crumbled under pressure. Key players like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were dismissed cheaply, and the team lost five wickets for just 16 runs. This marked the lowest score for a team at the fall of the fifth wicket against Australia in T20I history.

The collapse highlighted Pakistan’s batting fragility, particularly in the face of quality bowling. The Australian bowlers exploited the conditions and executed their plans to perfection, leaving the Pakistan batters clueless. This loss puts Pakistan in a difficult position in the series, and they will need to regroup and perform much better in the upcoming matches.
