A bouncy and fast track is the norm at the Gabba. Batting first though will probably be a better choice with bowlers likely to get extra bit under lights.

AUS vs PAK Key Players

Haris Rauf

Haris Rauf has had a challenging year. His spot has been in doubt but he has answered questions spectacularly in the previous game. While he was expensive, he was also among the wickets and looked very menacing with his pace. He was accurate, furious and a little more support from his fielder along with a little more discipline could have helped him take his side home.

Xavier Bartlett

The big three of Australia's pace attack hardly gives the others a chance in the sun. Xavier Bartlett though finally has his own opportunity to make a statement, spearheading the Australian attack. He has a challenge with a good Pakistan team in front of him but will know that Pakistan are rather better with the ball than the bat.

AUS vs PAK Match Tips

Pakistan start the evident favorites for the game with Australia low on bowling experience. They still have some strong players but Pakistan's bowlers will feel a lot more comfortable coming into the game.
