LAHORE, Pakistan — The Pakistan vs Australia T20I series will now begin at 4 p.m. Pakistan Standard Time, instead of the originally scheduled 6 p.m. start, officials confirmed.

All three matches of the series will be played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Jan. 29, Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, 2026. While the start time has been revised, the venue and match dates remain unchanged.

The adjustment in match timing is expected to impact broadcasters, players and spectators, particularly fans planning to attend the games at the stadium. No official reason was provided for the change.
