Pakistan locks the horns with Australia in Harare for the 2nd T20I triangular tournament involving Zimbabwe hosts. Pakistan is currently the world's first T20I team according to ICC. They won their last 8 T20I under the direction of Captain Sarfraz Ahmed. Ahmed is the captain of the most successful T20I with 20 wins in 23 games. It's a pretty enviable record.

By the time we speak, Australia won the draw and asked Pakistan to hit first. Pakistan is upside down at 66 for 6 in 13 overs. Bill Stanlake was the choice of Aussie scalping bowlers 4 wickets. Malik scored 13 of 16 before he was unfortunately run.
