PAK vs AUS Dream11 Prediction, 1st T20, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Injury Updates, Pitch Report for West Indies tour of South Africa 2026

Pakistan is set to face Australia in the 1st T20 match of the Australia tour of Pakistan 2026 at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on Thursday, January 29.

Preview

In the 1st T20 match of the Australia tour of Pakistan 2026, Pakistan (PAK) is set to face Australia (AUS). Pakistan’s performance has been decent in the recent past; they even drew the series 1-1 on their last tour of Sri Lanka. Pakistan will definitely be a threat to Australia in their home conditions.

On the other hand, this will be Australia’s first T20 series of the year, having lost the five-match series against India 2-1 in November last year. However, Australia will now be eager to put in a strong performance as this will be their last series before next month’s T20 World Cup and a final chance to test their preparations.
