AUS vs PAK 1st ODI: Pakistan will kick off their ultimate preparation for the Champions Trophy as they will face World Champions Australia in the opening ODI. Pakistan had a poor campaign in last year’s World Cup and they are set to play their first ODI assignment under the new captain. On the other hand, Australia would look to extend their winning run in ODIs.
Australia Team Review
Australia will field a strong XI in the opening game. McGurk and Short may open for Aussies. The former should be considered for his attacking ability. Josh Inglis and Glenn Maxwell are two regular players in the middle order. We should bet on the keeper for his good form. Steve Smith and Labuschagne are two anchors of this batting unit. Pick one of the two in your fantasy XI.
In bowling, they have Starc and Abbott in the pace. Zampa is our must-pick being the frontline spinner. We advise you to pick a maximum number of Australian players in the fantasy XI.
Pakistan Team Review
Pakistan will rely more on Babar and Rizwan, so pick both players in the XI. Abdullah Shafique had decent form in CWC 23, and ODIs suit him. We can invest in Salman Agha, who was impactful in the home season. Invest in the middle order because we usually see the top order fail in Australia.
Meanwhile, Hasnain should be picked over Rauf for his brilliant domestic performances. Naseem Shah will be great in this condition, especially with the new ball.
PAK vs AUS Dream11 Prediction
Australia is the strongest unit in its home condition. Pakistan has a track record of poor form in Australia, and its past white-ball failure can haunt it. We back Australia to win the first game and take a 1-0 lead in the series.
