Brisbane-based Pakistani cricket enthusiast, Tariq Naveed, has taken his support for Pakistan's national cricket team to an unprecedented level by purchasing 800 tickets for the upcoming T20 match between Pakistan and Australia at The Gabba. These 800 tickets have been set aside for a special Pakistan Fan Zone, offering a dedicated space for passionate fans to come together and cheer for their team.

In a remarkable and bold move, Tariq has revealed his plans to form a human flag during the match to further demonstrate the fervor and patriotism of the local Pakistani community. This heartfelt gesture aims to show unwavering support for the Pakistan team, especially during challenging times in the sport.

"I’ve taken this step to show our support and lift the spirits of our players. These heroes from Pakistan are our guests here in Australia, and we’ll make sure to give them a rousing reception in Brisbane," Tariq shared, reflecting the enthusiasm and solidarity of the Pakistani community in Brisbane.

Pakistan secured a historic victory in Perth, where their bowlers restricted Australia to just 140 runs in the third ODI. Pakistan then chased down the target of 141 in just 27 overs, losing only 2 wickets, clinching the series 2-1 for the first time in 22 years.

Following the completion of the fifty-over series, the Men in Green will face Australia in a three-match T20I series starting from November 14th.
