Australia Claims Victory by 29 Runs in First T20
Australia won by 29 runs in the first T20I contest of the three-match series against Pakistan on Thursday as the rain-hit match prompted both sides’ batters to hit maximum on every delivery.
Australia secured a 29-run victory in the first T20I against Pakistan on November 14, 2024, in a rain-impacted match. Due to bad weather, the game was shortened to just seven overs per side, with both teams looking to hit big on every delivery.
Pakistan won the toss and opted to bowl. Australia’s aggressive batting saw them finish at 93/4 after 7 overs. The match, originally scheduled to start on time, was delayed due to light rain, forcing the pitch to be covered and pushing back play.
Key players like Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood were missing for Australia, with Josh Inglis captaining the team in their absence. Despite the weather disruptions, Australia managed to edge past Pakistan in the first match of this three-match series.
Notably, Pakistan had recently defeated Australia in a One Day International series, winning 2-1—their first ODI series victory over Australia in 22 years.
