Australia vs Pakistan Betting Tips
Australia to score over 34.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85@parimatch)
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 44.58 & 47.06 respectively in the Test format respectively. Warner and Khawaja’s averages spike up playing against Pakistan. In the current Test series, the duo posted the scores of 126 & 90 runs for the opening partnership in the 1st innings of the two games. This indicates the ineffectiveness of the Pakistani bowlers on foreign soil whereas Warner will be looking to end his Test career on a high note. 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.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Australia vs Pakistan Toss Prediction
Sydney Cricket Ground is widely known for housing a batting-friendly pitch. However, unlike most other grounds, this pitch helps spinners a little, as they usually get late turns after the 2nd day. Teams have scored at rates of above 3 in Test matches since 2000. Teams should opt to bat first after winning the toss.
Weather Report
There is a chance of rain on all five days of the Test match. The sun will be out, but clouds will be there as well. Temperatures will be around 27 degrees Celsius with the humidity on the higher side.

Australia vs Pakistan Betting Odds
The Australian side won the first test match of the series by 360 runs and won the second one by 79 runs. With their impressive performances throughout the ongoing home tour, the confidence of the current Australia squad is at an all-time high. While players like David Warner, Mitchell Marsh and Usman Khawaja did splendid batting to secure the first test victory, bowlers like Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon took quick wickets to secure the second one. Both the batting and bowling side of Australia look promising, as they have been delivering consistent performances in both the home and away matches.
Pakistan, on the other hand, is not in good form, as fans can sense a slight tension in the dressing room following the captaincy change. If they lose the third and final game, Pakistan will also lose their position at the ongoing ICC Test Championship. The Pakistani batting line-up has failed to deliver good batting performances and as a result had to suffer defeats in the two Tests.
