The third and final Test between Australia and Pakistan begins on Wednesday in Sydney, with the hosts already holding a commanding 2-0 lead. Australia won the first Test by 360 runs in Perth before winning again in a closer contest last week in Melbourne. Although the margin of victory was much smaller in the second Test of the series, Australia dominated the game and appeared to be in control, except for a brief period in the fourth innings. It would be surprising if Australia did not win the series 3-0. The Pakistan squad will have left Melbourne disappointed that they were unable to convert a 219/5 position when chasing 317 to win into a victory. However, their performance in Perth was so much better that they will travel to Sydney believing they can win.

The second Test of the series was a closer affair, but Australia won by a comfortable margin of 79 runs. Before this game, all of the attention will be on David Warner and his extraordinary Test career, and few would be surprised if he marks the occasion with another big score. We predict that Australia will once again win big. Considering the team combination, Australia is expected to win this match.
