After conceding the worst possible start, WA’s Mahli Beardman almost snared a hat-trick in his international debut as Australia pegged back Pakistan in their T20 series opener.
Just four days after helping lead the Perth Scorchers to a Big Bash League title, Beardman lined up in Aussie colours for the first time as one of three T20I debutants for the first of three matches in Lahore.
The 20-year-old Dunsborough product finished with 2-33 from four overs as Australia kept Pakistan to 8-168 after at one stage it appeared a 200-type total was on the cards.
Beardman’s first ball didn’t go to plan, with Saim Ayub flicking a length delivery off his pads and over deep square leg for a towering 71-metre six.

Mahli Beardman turned the BBL|15 Qualifier in the Scorchers' favour with three decisive wickets
It may have been a "pinch me" moment for Mahli Beardman, but it was also one that he executed perfectly as his Steve Smith breakthrough all but sealed Perth Scorchers' place in the KFC BBL|15 Final.
Beardman claimed 3-20 to sink Sydney Sixers by 48 runs in Tuesday's Qualifier, but it was the prized scalp of the Aussie superstar in the 11th over that truly swung the match in his side's favour.
The 20-year-old speedster from Margaret River says the wicket was the pinnacle moment of his young career so far but it was also the result of an expertly devised plan between himself and captain Ashton Turner.
