Pakistan begin their final preparations for the T20 World Cup with the visit of Australia as they play three matches over four days.
While the hosts have a full strength squad, Australia arrive without the likes of Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Nathan Ellis and Glenn Maxwell but time is still on their side with their T20 World Cup opener not until February 11.
Captain Travis Head knows the challenge ahead though, with Pakistan undefeated in their last three bilateral T20I series, winning three of their last five.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match and start times.
