Pakistan vs Australia ODI Series Preview

Pakistan are all set to host Australia in the opening match of their highly anticipated three-match ODI series. The encounter will take place on May 30 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

Team News

Pakistan, led by Shaheen Afridi, head into the series with strong momentum after dominating Australia in the recent T20I series earlier this year. The hosts completed a convincing 3-0 clean sweep at the Gaddafi Stadium and will now aim to carry that confidence into the ODI format.

Moreover, Pakistan’s squad has received a major boost with the return of former captain Babar Azam, who missed the Bangladesh tour due to injury.

On the other hand, Australia will be without several key players. Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out due to an ankle injury suffered during the IPL, while Josh Inglis will lead the side in the ODI series. Additionally, fast-bowling trio Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood are unavailable because of workload management concerns.
