PAK vs AUS: Possible Pakistan Playing 11 for 2nd Test

PAK Playing 11: The Pakistan team will be up against the Australian team in the 2nd fixture of the home test series at National Stadium, Karachi. The 1st test ended as a draw, with the pitch being too flat and not providing enough support to the bowlers.

The key performers of the Pakistan team in the batting department were Abdullah Shafique and Imam Ul Haq, and Azhar Ali who were the centurions. In the bowling unit, Nauman Ali and Shaheen Afridi were the wicket takers. They would look to continue the same form in this fixture as well, while few additions also await the team.
