First T20 between Pakistan and Australia called off due to rain

The first T20 between Pakistan and Australia in Sydney ended without a result after it was called off on Sunday due to rain.

Following a rain delay in Pakistan’s innings, a revised target of 119 runs from 15 overs was set for Australia. The match was reduced to 15 overs of play per side following the delay.

Australian skipper Aaron Finch gave Australia a flying start with 37 runs from 16 balls as the hosts cruised to 41 for no loss in 3.1 overs.

It was at that moment that rain returned to the Sydney Cricket Ground to dash Australia’s hopes of going 1-0 up in the three-match series.
