Australia vs Pakistan Match Prediction
Australia and Pakistan are set to clash on December 26, 2023, as part of Pakistan’s Tour of Australia. The match will be held at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne, at 5:00 A.M IST.
Australia vs Pakistan Chances of Winning
Australia wiped the floor with Pakistan during their first test match at Perth, wherein they won the toss and opted to bat first. This decision, in hindsight, was the right one as they posted scores of 487 and 233/5d. Pakistan seem to have faltered quite a bit, considering they could only respond with meager totals of 271 and 89 runs. They handed the victory to Australia, who won by a margin of 360 runs.
Australia has shown brilliant form lately and their convincing victory over Pakistan in the first test match solidifies their status as the more dominant squad. Pakistan played a test match against Victoria XI following their defeat, but the match was drawn as they scored 323 and 57/3 runs, while their adversaries scored 272/4d. Pakistan’s form seems to be dwindling and their recent performances do not particularly inspire confidence.
- Australia chance of winning - 91%

The last match hosted at the venue was between Pakistan and Victoria XI. The former won the toss and elected to bat first, but the match ended in a draw. However, considering the historical advantage of batting first at the venue, it seems likely that the toss winner could opt for a similar strategy in the upcoming match.
