PAK vs AUS, Who will win the match, Today Match Prediction
Australia to win.
Australia seems to have found the right balance between all three departments after emerging on top in the Ashes. They are an immaculately balanced side that has all their bases covered in order to defeat Pakistan on their turf. Headling their batting unit are some of the most proficient batters in Test cricket which can damage any side if they stay on the crease for longer durations.
For Pakistan, Babar Azam, Azhar Ali, Fawad Alam, Shan Masood, and Abdullah Shafique will pose a heavy threat to the Australian bowlers. But still, they need that extra push to defeat a team like Australia. Also, they would have the home advantage on their side.
