AUS Playing 11: The Australia team will face off against Pakistan in the 2nd fixture of 3 Test series at National Stadium, Karachi starting March 12. The Australia team had an average start to their first series after the 1998 tour of in Pakistan.
The Australian team got the support from the likes of their top 4 batsmen, Usman Khawaja, David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne, and Steve Smith, who posed a strong resistance to the opposition bowlers. While, the bowlers produced disappointing performances, with Lyon, Cummins, and Labuschagne being the wicket takers in the 1st innings. They could not get a breakthrough in the 2nd innings and need to come out with a better plan in this fixture.
