Pakistan will take on Australia in the third Test of the series which is starting on Monday. Pakistan will be buoyed by having rallied for the draw last week after they were behind the game until Day 5. Australia did well to bowl them out cheaply the first time but failed to get the remaining 10 in the last innings as Pakistan batted more than 1000 balls to get a draw. Both teams will look to push for a result with the WTC cycle in mind. But in the end, it will all depend on the conditions and everyone will hope this is a sporting wicket that can produce a result. Let’s read more about Pakistan Vs Australia, Dream 11 Fantasy Tips, Playing 11, Pitch & Weather Report.

Pakistan Vs Australia: Important Players
Top Picks – Batters
Babar Azam batted for more than 400 balls to help his team save the match and looked totally determined in that knock of 196. He will look to play a good knock once again.
Usman Khawaja has looked the most secure batter all throughout the series and he will once again be the hot pick in batting section. He got a big century in the previous match.
Top Picks – All-Rounders
Faheem Ashraf has been doing well in the last few series although he did not click with the bat he picked up crucial wickets with the ball and will once again be the man to watchout for.
Top Picks – Bowlers
Mitchell Starc got 3 wickets in the previous match and got the ball to reverse. So he will be a handful in this match.
Nathan Lyon picked up 4 wickets in the previous Test and that would give him a lot of confidence. The off spinner will look to put up a good show in this match.
Top Picks – Wicketkeepers
Alex Carey missed out on a century (93) but looked secure while batting.
