ISLAMABAD: The Australian cricket team arrived in the Pakistani city of Lahore on Wednesday ahead of a three-match men’s Twenty20 International series against the host nation, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said.
The first T20I will be played on Jan. 29, followed by the second on Jan. 31, with the final match scheduled for Feb. 1. All matches will start at 6 p.m. local time and be played at Lahore’s Qaddafi Stadium.
The series is expected to provide crucial game time for both teams ahead of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, where the sides have been drawn in separate groups.
