Pakistan vs Australia, 1st T20I, Australia tour of Pakistan, 2026 - Player Highlights

Adam Zampa to Saim Ayub, out Caught by Jack Edwards!! Saim Ayub holes out! He uses his feet to the flighted delivery but is not quite to the pitch of it. He still goes for an expansive shot downtown but ends up toe-ending it towards long-on. Edwards moves across to his right and pouches it safely. A good cameo from Ayub nonetheless.
