PAK vs AUS Dream11 Match Preview
This will be the first ODI match of the 3-match ODI series between Pakistan and Australia. Australia won the 3-match test series by a margin of 1-0.
Pakistan will look to bounce back after a humiliating defeat against the Aussies in the test series. They will be playing in their own backyard and that will give them a little confidence before the first game. The likes of Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwn, Fakhar Zaman, and Shaheen Afridi etc will have to step-up and take responsibility if Pakistan are to win the ODI series against the Aussies who are in excellent form at the moment and have been doing really in all the three-formats for some time now.

Australia, on the other hand, will be high on confidence after a historic test series win at Lahore. Aussies played their hearts out in the last test match and will look to do the same in the ODI series as well. The likes of Steve Smith, David Warner and Pat Cummins won’t be there in the ODI series so it’s not going to be very easy for the Aussies as well. Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey, and skipper Aaron Finch will have to be at their best to defeat the Pakistan side in the ODI series.
