Pakistan won the toss and elected to field in the first T20I of the three-match series against Australia at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, commonly known as the Gabba, on Thursday.

Following a rain delay, the fixture has been reduced to seven overs per side, with a two-over powerplay. Two bowlers can bowl two overs, while three bowlers can bowl one over apiece.

Just days earlier, the Men in Green celebrated a significant triumph after defeating the Kangaroos in the third and final ODI, clinching the three-match series 2-1.

With this win, the Green Shirts marked their first ODI series win on Australian soil in 22 years, with the previous 50-over series victory dating back to 2002.
