AUS vs PAK 3rd Test Match Prediction- Who Will Win Today's Match Between Australia and Pakistan - Cricket Winner

Australia sealed the series but the upcoming Test leaves a lot of questions for them to answer. Following the Test, David Warner walks away from the longer formats of the game. Over the last Decade, Australia has struggled to find a partner for David Warner at the top, rotating openers often. Now, David Warner moves out leaving them in a tough spot looking for his replacement.

Pakistan though came pretty close in the previous Test to scripting something special. They bowled well in their second innings and could have gotten closer in the chase had it not been for some brilliant bowling from Pat Cummins.

AUS vs PAK Key Players

Saud Shakeel

Saud Shakeel has been an aggressor for Pakistan in their recent Tests. With Australia normally a challenging place to tour, Pakistan will need someone willing to take the bowlers on and he could be the best man for the job.

Pat Cummins

While the Test is a special one for David Warner, Pat Cummins is one to not be forgotten. He has crossed 250 Test Wickets, has probably one it all in the last two years, and is in the form of his life. He turned the game in the previous Test and is definitely one of the most dangerous bowlers going around.
