Australia vs Pakistan Betting Tips
Australia to score high before 1st dismissal
Australia packs a premium line-up of batters and bowlers in the team. David Warner and Usman Khawaja are prime examples of class in the team who possess a lot of experience in the Test format. They average at 44.43 & 47.20 respectively in the Test format respectively. Warner and Khawaja’s average spike up playing against Pakistan; 83.53 & 99.20 respectively. In the last Test series between the sides, Australia scored 156, 82 & 8 runs before their first dismissal in the 1st innings of those games. This poses a high possibility of Australia to carry out a successful opening partnership in the next game. Pakistan is starting with a bunch of new players and will be inexperienced. Australia are likely to exploit the situation in their favour.
