Lahore: A buoyant Pakistan led by in-form skipper Babar Azam will start as favorites against depleted world champions Australia in their only Twenty20 international on Tuesday. Azam proved why he is the world’s top one-day batsman with back-to-back hundreds to help Pakistan win the 50-over series. Azam’s 276 runs in three matches, combined with opener Imam-ul-Haq’s 298, helped Pakistan clinch the series 2-1, including chasing down a record 349 in the second game. “We were on the receiving end of a couple of great knocks from Babar and Imam,” said Australia skipper Aaron Finch.
