Pakistan vs Australia LIVE Score 1st T20 at Lahore: Zampa's Four-Fer Restricts PAK to 168/8 in 20 Overs

  • Pakistan posted 168-8 at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on January 29, 2026, setting a target of 169 for Australia after Salman Ali Agha won the toss and elected to bat.
  • The three-match series serves as a final tune-up before February 7, with Australia resting several frontline pacers and both teams testing combinations for the T20 World Cup.
  • Adam Zampa's leg-spin underpinned Australia's bowling salvo, taking four wickets while Mahli Beardman and Xavier Bartlett claimed multiple wickets to trigger Pakistan's late collapse.
  • Australia begin the chase of 169 with Travis Head and Matt Short at the crease, while Mahli Beardman made his senior Australia debut among three T20 debutants.
  • Results here will directly influence final World Cup selection as Mohsin Naqvi will decide Pakistan's participation by Friday or Monday, while Australia misses five key players.
