In a shortened game, Australia and Glenn Maxwell made it through well. Maxwell stepped up nicely with his side short on experience and that is something Australia would have been hoping for with the Test players and some key bowlers missing. Pakistan will feel a little unlucky. Their strength has been their bwowling and with the overs shortened they would have felt a little cornered considering their batting line-up is a little lighter on fire power when compared to the Australian batting line-up.

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.
