This will be the last assignment for Australia before the mega event. Keep reading to find out the Pakistan vs Australia 1st ODI Match Prediction.
Pakistan rested 6 regular players for this series as they have been on the road for quite some time. After the Asia Cup, they hosted Australia and New Zealand in UAE and then, toured South Africa. All the players then played in the PSL. Pakistan is set to tour England just before the World Cup and hence, they rested their key players for the current series.
On the other hand, Australia comes to the UAE full of confidence. They won both the T20I and ODI series against India recently. These will be the last 5 ODIs they play before the World Cup. So, it’s the last opportunity for them to experiment to finalize the squad.
