With the ICC T20 World Cup emerging ever closer, all the teams partaking in the showpiece tournamnet have begun participating in matches in the shortest format of the game in a bid to get their final combination right. The rhetoric sees Pakistan go to Australia and take on Cricket Australia XI today in the first of three practice matches they’ll be playing before eventually facing off against Australia.
In the build up to the three match T20 series between the two countries which will be proceeded by a two match test series, Pakistan will face off against Cricket Australia XI today. For Pakistan, this encounter is more than a practice match with the side seeing a massive overhaul in place after massively underwhelming in the cricketing fraternity throughout 2019, one which saw them change their coach along with making Babar Azam the captain.
The side come into this series after being routed and thumped by a massively inferior Sri Lanka side, one which was devoid of its worldclass player and star performers. The side were cut into and dismantled by Sri Lanka in the T20 series, ensuing which the fallout from the trouncing were gargantuan for the side ahead of this clash.
For Cricket Australia XI meanwhile, this match comes across as one final chance for the players in their side to catch the eyes of the team management and selectors. With the current Australian team decimating and outshine Sri Lanka in the ongoing T2 series between the two sides, winning the three match series yesterday with a 2-0 lead in ther kitty, these bunch of players know they need to imbue in place pinch perfect performances.

CAU vs PAK Dream11 Wicket-Keeper
Pakistan’s wicket-keeper, Mohammad Rizwan has been picked up by us for this encounter in this slot of our Dream 11 side. The player is someone who hold a high spot in his team’s batting order, one which should see him come out and get ample time to score runs in.
CAU vs PAK Dream11 Batsmen
Cricket Australia XI’s opener, Chris Lynn becomes the first name to be inducted into our Dream 11 for today’s fixture. Given Pakistan’s lacklustre bowling unit, the opener can easily indulge us in a fiery and explosive innings, one which will see him utilise the conditions at hand to capitalise on the powerplay overs and get a slew of runs today.
Mackenzie Harvey comes in as well from the side after massively impressing in the domestic circuit, a player who has been hailed and lauded for his expansive strokeplay which has seen him open his arms with ease. Jake Fraser-McGuirk comes in as well for us while from Pakistan meanwhile we are getting in Babar Azam with the bat having scored 1,290 runs in 33 matches.
CAU vs PAK Dream11 All-Rounders
With Chris Green set to see his batting spot be elevated for today’s encounter along with getting a hefty role with the ball as well, the all-rounder from the home side is the first player to come into our side for today’s encounter. He’s someone who can easily encapsulate his skill set with both the bat and ball to deliver an exceptional performance and take accountability of winning the match on his own laurels.
From Pakistan meanwhile we have gone in with Imad Wasim with spin traditionally known to perturb Australia, something which should see Wasim snag a good amount of wickets in this clash.
CAU vs PAK Dream11 Bowling Order
With 45 wickets in 40 matches in Australia’s domestic setup, we have pacer and new ball operator, Ben Dwarshuis become the first name to find his way in our Dream 11 side. Australia can easily pepper Pakistan with pace, bounce and deviating balls, an eventuality which sees us move in for Daniel Fallins as well for this match.
From Pakistan we have the two players come into our side as well in the form of Shadab Khan and Mohammad Hasnain.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Green will be our captain for the imminent encounter while Lynn is the vice-captain.
