Australia will take on Pakistan in their second warm-up match on October 3rd, at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. Pakistan is coming after a loss against New Zealand in their opening warm-up match. On the other hand, Australia will start confidently on the back of a win against the Netherlands. Mitchell Starc’s hat-trick is also a confidence booster for Australia.
Pakistan, on the other hand, has to find answers to so many questions. Which bowling combination will be the best one for the main round? How to get their spin bowling on track. Shadab’s performance with the ball will improve or not. Pakistan has to find out all these questions to survive in the ICC mega event.

This might be the probable playing XI for Pakistan for this warm-up game. Pakistan management would love to try out all the available squads to refine their final 11 for the ICC World Cup 2023.

Australia will probably follow England’s tactics by giving chances to all their bowlers to have a look at the pitches in India. They might give their fast bowler the initial burst and then they will bring their spinners to their sight for the main round.
Maxwell and Zampa are the main spinners that Australia will keep an eye on. Spinners’ performance is going to be very crucial in Subcontinent conditions. Stoinis will play a big part in Australia’s campaign in the World Cup 2023, which is why he will be seen in action today as he was rested in the previous match.
Australia’s current form, their quality-packed squad, powerful all-rounders, and habit of winning crunch moments make them the favorite not only in this match but also in the upcoming ICC World Cup. The win predictor favors Australia. Their chances to win the match are 62%.
The weather condition for this warmup match is satisfactory. The match will be completed according to the recent weather update. A 10% chance of rain might not affect the game and we will be able to enjoy the full match between the two formidable sides.
