Thu Nov 14 09:59:51 UTC 2024: ## Rain Washes Out First T20I Between Australia and Pakistan in Brisbane
Brisbane, Australia – The highly anticipated first T20I between Australia and Pakistan at the Gabba in Brisbane was unfortunately abandoned due to persistent rain and lightning. The match, scheduled for Thursday, was delayed multiple times before being called off entirely.
The news comes as a disappointment for fans of both nations, who were eagerly anticipating the start of the T20I series. Pakistan, riding high from their historic ODI series win in Australia, were hoping to continue their momentum and secure a rare double. However, the weather had other plans.
With the rain continuing and the forecast looking bleak, the match was eventually called off, leaving both teams with nothing but a rained-out result. Further adding to the disappointment, the second T20I in Sydney is also under threat from inclement weather.
The series was expected to feature exciting encounters between two strong teams, with several new faces on both sides. Pakistan was set to field their potent pace trio of Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Haris Rauf, who had been a thorn in the side of the Australian batsmen in the ODI series.
The teams will now have to wait and see if the weather cooperates for the remaining two matches.
