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.
Match: Pakistan vs Australia, 1st ODI, Australia’s tour of Pakistan 2022
Venue: Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
Date and Time: 29th March 2022, Tuesday, 3:30 PM IST
The pitches in the test matches were absolute flat tracks for batting and the pitch for this game too is expected to be as flat as a road. Runs will flow on this wicket and we can expect a very high scoring encounter between the two sides. Spinners will get some purchase as the game progresses and we may see some reverse swing as well in the death overs. The average first innings total at Lahore is 250 runs in ODIs. Chasing sides have won 28 matches out of 60 played here. Teams are expected to win the toss and chase.
Both teams are looking good but Australia will be without their heroes of the test series as Steve Smith, David Warner, Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Starc are unavailable for this series and that’s a big blow to the Aussies. Pakistan will start as the favorites to win this game.
