Pakistan's batting line displayed its usual lacklustre performance and couldn't provide a handsome target to the Indians, who took advantage of it and won the match quite easily.
Australia meet Pakistan with a caution as Pakistani spinners may pose a threat to its batsmen. This will be coupled with the fact that pitches here in Bangladesh are much slower.
Australia and Pakistan have met in 11 T20s - Pakistan have won six, Australia four and there has been one tie, which Pakistan won in a Super Over. So it remains to be seen how the Australians fare against Pakistan to day. It may be added that the Pakistan side features the three top wicket takers in T20 internationals: Saeed Ajmal (82), Umar Gul (75) and Shahid Afridi (73)
The probable opposing teams are as under:
Australia:
GJ Bailey*, DE Bollinger, DT Christian, NM Coulter-Nile, JP Faulkner, AJ Finch, BJ Haddin†, BJ Hodge, GB Hogg, GJ Maxwell, JM Muirhead, MA Starc, DA Warner, SR Watson, CL White
Pakistan:
Mohammad Hafeez*, Ahmed Shehzad, Bilawal Bhatti, Junaid Khan, Kamran Akmal†, Mohammad Talha, Saeed Ajmal, Shahid Afridi, Sharjeel Khan, Shoaib Malik, Sohaib Maqsood, Sohail Tanvir, Umar Akmal†, Umar Gul, Zulfiqar Babar
Umpires - RA Kettleborough and NJ Llong
