The International Cricket Council (ICC) trolled Pakistan-Australia T20I trophy comparing it with the ICC Champions Trophy, which Pakistan won defeating India by 138 runs.

Tweeting the pictures of both trophies, side by side, ICC wrote: “You vs the trophy she told you not to worry about.”

Pakistan is set to face Australia in the first match of a three-match T20 series in a bid to defend their world number one ranking starting Wednesday in Abu Dhabi.

Skipper Sarfraz Ahmed led Pakistan to a tri-series triumph by beating Australia in the final at Harare in July this year and needs to win at least one match to remain at the top of the rankings.

Pakistan will be without senior batsman Shoaib Malik who was with his tennis star wife Sania Mirza in India for the birth of their first child.

“Malik will join the team on Wednesday but will not be part of the eleven, so we are ready for Australia who are a very strong T20 side,” said Sarfraz.

Australia, who beat Pakistan in the group match of the tri-series, need to win 3-0 if they want to jump from their current third position to the top.
