PAK vs AUS, ODI Series: Broadcast, Live Streaming details – When and where to watch in India, Pakistan, USA, Australia & other countries

The Australia tour of Pakistan 2026 ODI Series kicks off today, bringing a historic milestone right out of the gate. The opening match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium marks Pakistan’s 1,000th ODI since their 1973 debut against New Zealand.

Both teams enter this three-match series with highly reshaped squads as they look toward future development. Pakistan, under the captaincy of Shaheen Afridi, is missing heavy hitters Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub due to injuries. However, experience returns via Babar Azam, Haris Rauf, and Shadab Khan, alongside fresh faces like Ahmed Daniyal, Arafat Minhas, and Rohail Nazir. With head coach Mike Hesson viewing this as a core building block, Pakistan holds a confidence boost, having swept Australia 3-0 in a T20I series at home earlier this year, alongside winning their last two bilateral ODI series against the Aussies by a 2-1 margin.

Australia is being led by Josh Inglis in the absence of several usual senior figures. Their squad features a dangerous blend of explosive white-ball talents like Matthew Short, Cameron Green, and Marnus Labuschagne, supported by a potent bowling contingent including Adam Zampa, Nathan Ellis, and Riley Meredith. Given how tightly contested these bilateral matchups traditionally are, Australia will be hungry to avenge their recent subcontinent losses.
