Head-to-Head
Pakistan have won three and lost two of their last five ODIs against Australia. Pakistan have won the last three ODIs against Australia on the bounce.
Pakistan Form - 5-Wicket Win Secured
Arafat Minhas played a key role in the win, running through four of Australia’s top five in returning figures of 5/32 off his 10 overs. Abrar Ahmed offered good support with figures of 2/44.
Babar Azam has been in great form with the bat, scoring 59, 103, 68, 47 and 69 in his last five matches. Ghazi Ghori is also in good form with scores of 50, 28*, 29 and 65 in his last five knocks.
Sahibzada Farhan is worth backing to get in the runs as he has been scoring consistently recently. He has scored 20, 66, 30, 15 and 28 in his last five knocks.
Australia Form - Tough Return To Action
Australia come into the 2nd ODI on the back of three straight wins followed by heavy back-to-back defeats, so they’re not a side that will be full of confidence.
Matthew Short (55) and Matt Renshaw (61) were the only top six batters to pass 20, and both have been scoring good runs of late.
Nathan Ellis has figures of 1/14, 2/26 and 2/45 in his last three matches and is a good option to back as Australia’s best bowler in the 2nd ODI.
Verdict
Pakistan can seal a second win and the series with Babar Azam to score 37 runs or more. Arafat Minhas and Nathan Ellis are backed in the wickets markets.
