Pakistan vs Australia preview

Pakistan vs Australia historical test series will start in a few hours' time and both teams have prepared themselves and are ready to go. This is going to be a very interesting series and also a very important series for both considering world test championship points will be at stake.

Australia will look to start off well as this is the 1st of 3 subcontinental tours in this cycle of the world test championship and for Pakistan, this is the 1st of 3 big test series they will play at home this year.

The 1st test will take place at the Rawalpindi stadium. It will be interesting to see what starting xi both teams put out on the field for this game.

what I have seen of the pitch in Pindi I think it's going to suit the seamers and Pakistan will go with 3 seamers, spinner and all-rounder( could be a spinning all-rounder) and Australia will go with their tried and tested combination of 3 seamers and a spinner with the all-rounder( seam all-rounder).

Pakistan predicted Xi: 1. Imam-ul-Haq, 2. Abdullah Shafique, 3. Azhar Ali, 4. Babar Azam (c), 5. Fawad Alam, 6. Mohammed Rizwan(wk), 7. Nauman Ali, 8. Mohammed Wasim Jr, 9. Sajid Khan, 10.Shaheen Shah Afridi, 11. Naseem Shah

Australia Predicted Xi: 1. David Warner, 2. Usman Khawaja, 3 Marnus Labuschagne, 4. Steve Smith, 5. Travis Head, 6. Cameron Green, 7. Alex Carey, 8. Pat Cummins(c), 9. Mitchell Starc, 10. Nathan Lyon, 11. Josh Hazlewood

In terms of spin options, Australia can use Labuschagne, Smith and Head if they need extra options.
