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 vs Pakistan Toss Prediction

The match is going to be played at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne. Out of 116 test matches held here, 56 have been won by teams batting first and 42 by teams batting second. 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.

Weather Report

Light thunderstorms are anticipated on the day of the match as there is a 25% possibility of rainfall. The temperature is likely to hover around 23 degrees Celsius.

Australia vs Pakistan Best Batters

David Warner to be Australia’s Best Batter

David Warner has always been a reliable opening batsman for Australia, and this is evidenced by his performance against Pakistan in their previous match. Warner amassed a ton, having scored 164 runs from 211 deliveries. He was playing in a league of his own as he was the top batsman of the entire match. Considering his exceptional contribution, he can be anticipated to be their top batter once again.

Imam-ul-Haq to be Pakistan’s Best Batter

Imam-ul-Haq, Pakistan’s opening batsman, was their top scorer in the first innings against Australia, having scored 62 runs from 199 deliveries. In the second innings, he scored ten runs from 20 balls. Although these figures are not particularly promising, he was their most consistent batsman and can be expected to emerge as their top batter once again.

Australia vs Pakistan Best Bowlers

Mitchell Starc to be Australia’s Best Bowler

Mitchell Starc delivered two brilliant spells against Pakistan in their last encounter. During the first innings, he bowled 25 overs, conceded just 68 runs and delivered five maidens, giving him an economy rate of 2.72. He claimed two wickets in the process. In the second innings, he bowled just nine overs and gave away 31 runs, giving him an economy rate of 3.44. This time, he captured three wickets. Considering these excellent figures, he can be relied upon to be their standout bowler.

Aamer Jamal to be Pakistan’s Best Bowler

Aamer Jamal was the top wicket-taker for Pakistan in their last outing against Australia. His first spell was particularly impressive as he captured a whopping six wickets. He bowled 20.2 overs, allowed 111 runs and delivered a maiden, resulting in an economy rate of 5.45. In the second innings, he delivered nine overs and conceded 28 runs which translated to an economy rate of 3.11. He claimed one wicket during the process. He can be expected to remain their top bowler in the upcoming match as well.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Australia

Australia, despite having lost to England in their last test series, are a force to be reckoned with. Pakistan seem to be experiencing a reversal of fortune after their favorable series win over Sri Lanka earlier this year. Historically, Australia has established an upper hand over Pakistan with 20 additional test match wins in their head-to-head record. Australia, without a doubt, are the favorite to clinch victory in the upcoming fixture.
