The timings for the three scheduled T20 International matches between the Pakistan national cricket team and the Australia national cricket team in Lahore have been revised due to adverse weather conditions.
Sources said the Pakistan Cricket Board made the decision in consultation with Cricket Australia to ensure the smooth conduct of the fixtures amid forecast weather concerns.
Under the updated schedule, the toss will now take place at 3:30 PM, while the first ball will be bowled at 4:00 PM. Previously, the toss was scheduled for 5:30 PM, with the match starting at 6:00 PM.
