Australia are looking to maintain their recent impressive form as they take on No1 ranked Pakistan in the first T20I between the two sides in Sydney.

Hosts Australia are aiming to make it four wins in a row against subcontinent teams after they recently inflicted a 3-0 series whitewash over Sri Lanka on home soil.

For Pakistan, it is a chance to rebound from their shock 0-3 home series loss to Sri Lanka which culminated in the axing of skipper Sarfraz Ahmed from the squad. The clash in Sydney marks the Pakistan captaincy debut for Babar Azam who has been their leading limited-overs batsman over the last few years.

Will the Men in Green be able to withstand the Aussie tide or will Aaron Finch and his men continue their recent T20I domination? Follow all the ball-by-ball updates from the Sydney Cricket Ground below to find out.
