THE TEAM NEWS
PAKISTAN
- Pakistan were able to grind out a resolute draw and almost pulled off the unthinkable as they attempted to chase down a target of 506 in what was a brilliant second Test match in the series against Australia.
- That is now back-to-back draws with just one game left to decide the series but with key batsmen Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan performing so well in the second innings of the second game, they could well prove to be the difference between the two teams.
AUSTRALIA
- Australia were left frustrated in their efforts to clinch the win in the second game of the series against Pakistan and that frustration will largely surround their decision not to enforce the follow-on after a superb first innings.
- Usman Khawaja continued his fine series with a knock of 160 with his opening effort and he now boasts more runs than any other player from the two games to date with the opener set to be important to his side’s chances of claiming victory in the series.
THE PREDICTION
Pakistan and Australia have played out an intriguing series despite failing to be separated so far with their second clash an enthralling show of Test match cricket at its finest. Both teams had the opportunity to win on the final day but they ultimately played out a draw in entertaining fashion. The pair have shown their quality in abundance with the bat during this series and that looks set to be the case once again here with another draw on the cards to leave the series at a stalemate.
