AUS vs PAK Dream11 Prediction: The three-match series is set for an intriguing finale between the weakened Australia team and the confident Pakistan team in Perth. The match will be played at Optus Stadium, which is renowned for its fast nature, a paradise for fast bowlers.

If the Australians managed to escape with a close two-wicket win in the first ODI, the visitors this time, in the 2nd ODI, didn’t let the hosts off the hook. It was a completely dominating performance, with both bat and ball, as Pakistan secured a commanding and memorable nine-wicket win against the Aussies. The enormity of this result is evident, as this was Pakistan’s first win against Australia in Australia since 2017. What a way to end the winless run.

TOP Picks For AUS vs PAK Dream 11 Match – 3rd ODI
- Shaheen Afridi: Shaheen Afridi: Showing signs of getting back to his ruthless best. The 24-year-old has picked up five wickets in the first two ODI matches. On a fast pitch at Optus Stadium, Shaheen can produce another match-winning spell.
- Marcus Stoinis: The 35-year-old needs no introduction at all. He has won matches for every team he has represented in his career. On his day, he can win matches on his own. He is worth the risk in Dream11 grand league teams.
