Cricket Match Prediction | Australia vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Nov 04 – Let’s find out who will win this AUS vs PAK fixture.
AUS vs PAK Match Analysis
Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne, will host the first ODI of a three-match ODI series between Australia and Pakistan at 9:30 BDT on November 4, 2024. Pakistan has not played an ODI since last year’s World Cup in India, which might leave them somewhat out of practice. In contrast, Australia comes into the series as the defending world champions. Additionally, they will begin as the favorites with their formidable record at home.
AUS vs PAK Team Preview & Squads
Australia
Australia’s cricket summer is set to start with an ODI series at home against Pakistan. The hosts will field nearly their full-strength ODI squad, featuring key players like captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith, and Marnus Labuschagne, all set to participate in the opening three matches of the international season.
Matthew Short and Josh Inglis are dynamic openers capable of providing Australia with aggressive starts. Following them, Labuschagne and Smith offer stability in the middle overs. Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis add significant firepower in the lower order and can be formidable threats.
Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc are set to spearhead the bowling attack. Josh Hazlewood is expected to miss the first ODI as he participates in a NSW Sheffield Shield match. Additionally, Adam Zampa is one to watch; the leg-spinner has been a dependable wicket-taker in the middle overs and is poised to challenge the Pakistani batters.
Australia Squads
Jake Fraser-McGurk, Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Matthew Short, Steven Smith, Sean Abbott, Cooper Connolly, Aaron Hardie, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa.
Pakistan
Pakistan heads into this series under the new leadership of Mohammad Rizwan. Known for his vital role as both a wicketkeeper and a dependable batsman, Rizwan now faces the added challenge of captaincy. With key players such as Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah returning to action after missing the Test series against England, Pakistan aims to deliver a strong performance against the reigning world champions.
However, PAK’s top order does appear rather brittle. Babar Azam has been out of form, while neither Saim Ayub nor Abdullah Shafique have contributed anything to these wickets. This series, though, might be the star batter’s turning point. Since Rizwan is one of their most reliable players, we anticipate a strong performance from him.
Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah provide the bowling unit a polished appearance. Despite his propensity to give up runs, Haris Rauf is a great prospect in the final overs and a wicket-taker.
Pakistan Squads
Mohammad Rizwan, Abdullah Shafique, Babar Azam, Haseebullah Khan, Irfan Khan, Saim Ayub, Aamer Jamal, Agha Salman, Kamran Ghulam, Arafat Minhas, Faisal Akram, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Hasnain, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Australia vs Pakistan outfield report
In recent ODIs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, batting second has produced better outcomes. Both captains may want to field first here, in our opinion. Melbourne’s weather will be extremely warm and partly cloudy. Rainfall is not predicted for the day. The Melbourne Cricket Ground has a real pitch.
