AUS vs PAK Match Prediction for Today- Read to find out who will win today’s match between Australia vs Pakistan, 2nd Test Match With Updates on Cricketwinner
AUS vs PAK Match Preview
The Boxing Day Test, which begins on Tuesday, pits Australia against Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The first game of the series was played earlier this month in Perth, and Australia easily won by 360 runs. Australia dominated Pakistan on the first day in Perth, taking the lead and never letting them back into the game. Playing in front of a large Boxing Day crowd at the MCG motivates Australians to greatness, and we expect another big triumph in Melbourne. The weather in Australia is always significantly different from that in Pakistan Test locations, and the weather forecast for Melbourne is for cooler days than in Perth. If Pakistan is to be competitive in this Test, one of their batters must stand up and score a big score.

Topmost Picks for AUS vs PAK Dream11 Prediction:
Top Picks – Australia
- David Warner- the 37 year old left-hander is scheduled to retire from Test cricket at the end of this series but was still under pressure ahead of the opening game. However, he then went on to hit his 26th Test century.
- Nathan Lyon – Although Perth offers more for the seamers, Lyon can still make a difference with his consistent pitch map.
Top Picks – Pakistan
- Babar Azam- the former skipper has not made a century in any of his four Tests this year and is yet to make a big score in Melbourne. However, he is the most talented and consistent Pakistan batter.
- Aamer Jamal- the right-arm medium fast bowler took a six-wicket haul in the first innings in Perth on his Test debut. His style of bowling should also be useful at the MCG.
Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for AUS vs PAK Dream11 Team:
Alex Carey, David Warner(C), Imam-ul-Haq, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Babar Azam(VC), Mitchell Marsh, Usman Khawaja, Agha Salman, Aamer Jamal, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon
Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for AUS vs PAK Dream11 Team:
Alex Carey, David Warner, Imam-ul-Haq, Shan Masood, Babar Azam, Mitchell Marsh(C), Travis Head(VC), Agha Salman, Aamer Jamal, Mitchell Starc, Shaheen Shah Afridi
Captain and Vice-Captain Options:
Captain – Mitchell Marsh, David Warner
Vice-captain – Travis Head, Babar Azam
Wicketkeeper – Alex Carey
AUS vs PAK Probable Winners:
When Australia plays Test cricket at home, the opposition knows they are in for a difficult task, with long stints in the field and batters who will likely take the attack to them. Pakistan has only won two Tests in Australia since the beginning of the 1980s, and we don’t anticipate them to win three in this game. Australia is at full strength, with all of its top players in top shape. Australia will prevail, in our opinion. Considering the team combination, Australia is expected to win this match.
