Australia’s tour of Pakistan 2026 is set to begin on January 29 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, as the teams play the final set of three T20Is each to conclude their T20 World Cup 2026 preparations and head to India and Sri Lanka.

Coming into the PAK vs AUS series, the hosts tied a three-match T20I series in Sri Lanka earlier this month with 1-1, while Australia play their first T20I since November 8; however, the players are coming off a BBL season, where the preparations went to a T for them.

As they play the series opener on Thursday, here’s a brief look at their head-to-head record.

Conclusion

Currently, both teams aim to primarily get ready for the T20 World Cup 2026. How they approach these matches will be much more in focus than what the outcomes are.
