AUS vs PAK Dream11 Prediction: With Australia leading the three-match series 1-0, Pakistan will be under immense pressure to take the series to a decider when they play the second ODI of the series against the host nation on Friday morning. The match will be played at the Adelaide Oval.
Match Preview
Mohammad Rizwan led the Pakistan cricket team for the first time in the ODI format, and he can take heart from his team’s performance in the first ODI, despite the result not going in their favor.
After opting to bat first, Pakistan was bowled out for just 203 runs in 46.4 overs. Seven batters reached double digits, but none could play a big innings. Key contributors for Pakistan were Babar Azam (37 off 44), Mohammad Rizwan (44 off 71), and Naseem Shah (40 off 39).
Despite posting a modest total, Pakistan managed to make a contest out of the game. Haris Rauf’s fiery spell almost brought the hosts to their knees, as Australia lost three wickets without adding a run.
But Australia’s captain, Pat Cummins, held his nerve and forged a crucial 30-run partnership with Sean Abbott for the eighth wicket. Though Abbott was run out, there was no further damage, and Australia won the match by two wickets.
As both teams prepare for the second ODI, it is Pakistan who needs a positive result to keep the series alive.
AUS vs PAK Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: The pitch at the Adelaide Oval is likely to offer some seam movement for the fast bowlers early in the game. This surface is also renowned for its slow nature, with bounce comparatively lower than other grounds in Australia. That’s why spinners are expected to play a bigger role in this game than in the first ODI, where fast bowlers dominated.

TOP Picks For AUS vs PAK Dream 11 Match 2nd ODI
- Mitchell Starc: Arguably the best bowler in the world in the white-ball format. His ability to swing the ball and hitting the consistent length can squeeze the life out of any batsman. The veteran bowled three maiden overs and picked up three wickets in the first ODI match.
- Shaheen Afridi: Showed signs of his form when he was at the peak of his powers. If Shaheen can get back to his 2020-22 form, then Pakistan is a force to be reckoned with. He is also a solid captain option in AUS vs PAK Today cricket match teams.
- Pat Cummins: Australia’s captain is a solid lower-order batsman and his bowling skills in the limited over cricket are insane. He can impact the match as a bowler and as a batter.
- Babar Azam: There’s one batter in Pakistan’s Playing XI who Australia want to get rid of early in the innings and he is Babar Azam. The former Pakistan captain is another player who can be considered either as captain or vice-captain in this team.
