    SRH Opener Travis Head Delivers Explosive Powerplay Start in Australia's T20I Opener Against Pakistan

    Analysis by Third Umpire·January 30, 2026

    Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Travis Head demonstrated explosive form in the first T20I against Pakistan, providing a crucial start for Australia in the powerplay. Head smashed 23 runs off just 13 deliveries, showcasing his ability to capitalize on field restrictions with two fours and two sixes.

    Despite Australia ultimately losing the series opener by 22 runs, Head's aggressive intent at the top of the order remains a significant asset for the Australian side as they prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup. His performance confirms his readiness to take advantage of the powerplay overs, a role he is expected to replicate for SRH in the IPL.

    Head's ability to provide quick starts will be vital for both his national side and the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise, especially on surfaces that tend to slow down as the innings progresses, such as the one seen at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
