Pakistan's Strategy:
Pakistan has opted for a balanced playing XI with a strong batting lineup and a potent bowling attack. The opening pair of Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq is known for providing explosive starts, while Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan provide stability in the middle order. Khushdil Shah and Shadab Khan add power-hitting capabilities, while Mohammad Nawaz offers all-round skills.
In the bowling department, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah will lead the pace attack with their express pace and wicket-taking abilities. Mohammad Wasim and Shahnawaz Dahani provide additional pace and swing options. Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz add variety with their spin and can also contribute with the bat.
Predictions:
Pakistan will be looking to avenge their recent T20 series loss to Australia and will be confident of their chances in this ODI series. The team has a good balance of experience and youth, and they will be eager to prove their worth against a strong Australian side.
Australia, on the other hand, will be keen to maintain their dominance over Pakistan in ODIs. They have a formidable batting lineup led by David Warner, Aaron Finch, and Steve Smith, and their bowling attack is equally impressive with the likes of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins.
The series promises to be a close and exciting affair, with both teams having the potential to emerge victorious. Pakistan will need to play to their strengths, execute their plans effectively, and capitalize on any mistakes made by Australia.
