Pakistan Vs Australia Match Prediction

Preview

Pakistan Vs Australia: After two draws in Rawalpindi and Karachi, the teams come to Lahore with everything to play for. After having two flat surfaces in the first two Tests, it won’t be a surprise if the upcoming game is played on dusty and dry surface, helping the spinners get maximum advantage.

Both teams are doing well with the batting line-up and the last test saw the bowlers also come to life, especially from the Australian point of view. There is still a lot of cricket left in this historic tour, and the final Test promises to be a cracker.

Team News

• Pat Cummins spoke about the spinner’s workload at Karachi but expected them to be fit. He may however consider swapping Mitchell Starc with Josh Hazlewood as the bowlers manage their workload.

• Pakistan are expected to remain unchanged.

Key Players

Nathon Lyon

With a draw inevitable on day five, Nathon Lyon bowled with immense heart and courage to make a game out of the final few moments. He used the rough well, extracted bounce and showed why he is the best off-spinner in the World along with Ashwin. With a spinning track ahead, he will have a larger workload and it will be interesting to see what the magician does.

Abdullah Shafique

Shafique was brilliant in defense on the last two days, and took the wind out of the bowling attack. His knock may not be remembered after Azam and Rizwan made centuries, but his 96 is easily equally important if not more important. He seems like a talented batter and will be one to watch out for in the future.

Pakistan Vs Australia Match Tips

If a spinning surface is ahead of us Pakistan will have a strong chance of winning the game, despite the presence of Nathon Lyon. There is talent in the Australian side, but a Pakistan win is more likely.

Match Prediction: Pakistan will win the match.
