Hello, folks. It’s T20 time once again. Australia got rid of Sri Lanka in short order across three matches in the past week or so, but Pakistan might pose a sterner test. At least, they will if rain stays away at the SCG. No Glenn Maxwell for Australia, he’s taken a mental-health break from the game for a time. Ben McDermott is the replacement batsman for him in the top four. Pakistan are the number one T20 side in the world, and whitewashed Australia in the UAE across three games last year, but may have some issues adapting to Australian conditions, even if the Sydney pitch isn’t the fastest and bounciest going around.
