Pakistan captain Babar Azam says his team has definitely got plans in place to stop the rampaging Aussie opener David Warner during the three-match T20I series, starting Sunday (November 3).

Warner is in outstanding form since the beginning of the T20I series against Sri Lanka at home and would be hoping to continue the run. 

"We've got a plan ready for David Warner," Babar was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au ahead of the first T20I in Sydney.

"He's one of Australia's really good batsmen. We have our frontline bowlers, we have a strategy ready for David."

"Obviously, once he gets going, he gets going but we have a strategy in place for all facets."

Despite concerns over his Test career following the Ashes in UK, Australia skipper Aaron Finch said Warner's great T20 record makes him a guaranteed pick in the shortest format any day of the week. 

"There was definitely no issue for me, he's the first pick in any T20 side," Finch said. "You look at the way that when he gets runs, he wins games for his team – whether it's Australia, Sunrisers Hyderabad (in the Indian Premier League), wherever he plays, when he performs the teams win and that's such a huge asset."

"His World Cup was outstanding, his one-day cricket for a lot of years has been extraordinary so there was definitely no reservations going into this series or the summer altogether."

"He's a world-class player and will get the job done more often than not."

Finch, however, is also wary of the threat posed by a "well-rounded" Pakistani bowling attack. 

"They've got such a well-rounded attack. You've obviously got the height, bounce and pace of Irfan," he said. "Then you've got Amir who is fast and can swing it. Very skillful."

"Then you have (Wahab) Riaz with all out pace, who can spray them around at times but when he gets his line and length right, he's lethal."

"Then you have Shadab (Khan) who is a world-class leg-spinner who can mix it up a lot. (Right-armer Mohammad) Hasnain is genuine pace with his right-armers, we saw him in the UAE earlier this year. He's got some real pace," Finch added. 

"It's an attack that you don't get any respite (from). But they are going to give you scoring opportunities and you're going to chase them.

"It's a T20 game at the end of the day. It's about those first six overs being really important to setting up the game."
