Cricket match prediction discussions

[DanWalker]

I believe we all will be keenly following this series, as it’ll be really interesting to see if Pakistan can dominate Australia in their home ground. Also as far as security is concerned I feel it’ll not be an issue, as both countries have checked all the preparations, and once this series ends successfully I feel that other countries will immediately express their interest to tour Pakistan.

It's going to be really good for Pakistan in the long run and I am looking forward to seeing a lot more countries tour Pakistan after the series. To be honest no one has that much problem tour in Pakistan except for India.

One of the fast bowler in the test squad Haris Rauf tested positive for COVID-19. He is supposed to play his debut test match in his home ground Rawalpindi. Already fast bowler Hasan Ali and allrounder Faheem Ashraf were out of the first test due to injuries happened during the Pakistan Super League. Lets wait and watch what is gonna happen within few days.

Pakistan certainly needs to find a substitute for him as soon as possible. Probably we might see some reserve players in action. Mohammad Abbas could be a valid option.

If this tour goes pretty well then I think we will see a lot of other teams tour Pakistan pretty soon.

But the Pakistan government is going to have to make sure that the security is really good and no unexpected occurrence can happen. And this is going to be really good for Pakistan cricket and also for future PSL. I know that India is not going to tour Pakistan anytime soon but I would like the other Asian teams to tour Pakistan.

Last time Australia played in Pakistan they won the 3 test series 1-0. Though Pakistan has performed good against there home series against Australia in UAE we can't say how they will perform in this test series. Australia are too good at there home ground, not much data is available about Aus performance in Pakistan as they haven't played here for last 24 years.
India not touring Pakistan is only because of political reasons not on security grounds.

South Africa won by 198 run against New Zealand. South Africa played poor well.Their batting and bowling was brilliant. Bowling and batting were form in.But New Zealand played poor cricket.Unfortunately New Zealand didn’t play good but Nez Zealand very strong team in Test Cricket and They Are defending World Championship winner. I hope they will improve their job and i hope they will be back their win site.

South Africa made a good comeback after the disappointing loss in the first test match. And by winning the second test they maintained their great run of form against New Zealand in test cricket. Newzealand obviously needs to get better if they want to successfully defend their title. I think New Zealand is going to learn from its mistakes and show better performance in the future.

News not good for Pakistan from fast bowling perspective. Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf are already not available due to injuries in PSL. Now Naseem Shah (a travelling reserve) is replacing Haris Rauf. Pakistan will mostly rely on Shaheen Afridi in fast bowling department. These injuries will further lessen Pakistan chances in Test.

I think Pakistan is going to do quite well in this series against Australia in Pakistan. But I also want the matches to be competitive and not one-sided. Probably then this series is going to live up to the expectation of all the people. Pakistan is going to have advantages in home conditions. I expect Australia to give them a good fight in this series.
And India is not going to tour Pakistan because of not only the political situation but also the incidents that might occur, from both countries.

This will be a really big problem for Pakistan because as far as I know, the pitch is going to be fast bowling friendly. And with all these important players being injured Pakistan is going to have fewer chances of winning in the test match in your opinion. Shaheen Afridi is going to be the only reliable fast bowler in Pakistan. So, now I think they will have to depend on their spin bowlers also.

I want Pakistan to whitewash Australia but it should be hard fought victory. Heard that 1st test might get washed out due to rain -last 2 days-.

Pindi's pitch do favor Australian style of gameplay so draw result seems good from Pakistan's perspective.

Having said that it would be fun to watch if Pak treat Aussie the same way, Aussie treated the Poms.

Australia also looking for whitewash, Nathan Lyon: 'My mindset is to win 3-0 in Pakistan'

Pakistan had previously whitewashed Australia but in UAE back in 2014, 2-0 and since Australia haven't played in Pakistan for 2 decades so its very hard to say who is being whitewashed here. Right now Pakistan Cricket Board focus is only is successful conduction of this tour, team performance is secondary thing.

Australia is complete package right now for this tour, and they can win this series, but it's not easy for any team because Pakistan is also had some very good and talented players those perform good in last few matches even it's not easy for them to face Australian pace attack but still it's going to be very interesting series for both teams as Aussies are here after very long time and have no idea about conditions and pitches, but they are currently best team in test cricket with few extraordinary players.

First test is going to be had two days with full of rain and most chances it's going to end in draw, but last two test are very vital and most chances both going to have results which will create good energy and entertaining cricket.

They are currently rank no 1 test team so it obvious that they won't say, yeah we might lose the series or we have virtually no chance of winning. Every player or coaching staff from any country would say the same thing (including things like yeah "it would be tough tour") if reporter asking them such ques during interviews or any press conference.

I would say Australia defiantly have more chances of winning the series but not whitewashing like they did with England in there home ground. Pakistan key set back in non availability of Faheem Ashraf and Hasan Ali, this may have impact on test series result. For first test Pakistan is planning for 5 men attack, 3 fast and 2 spinners. Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem and Wasim Jr as fast bowlers while Nauman Ali and Sajid Khan as the spinners.

It's going to be hard for Pakistan to win against Australia in my opinion because of the injuries to their fast bowlers. I think it's going to be hard, especially at Rawalpindi. I like the fact that both teams are honoring their legendary leg spinners. Everything seems to be going according to plan and I really e like what I am hearing about this series till now.

The Pakistan team has improved drastically in recent times and a lot of people have high hopes for them. Now they need to prove themselves in their home ground as this is quite a historical series. This will also decide the future of Pakistan cricket. They have to do a lot of things correctly along with playing well.

Actually, I don't think it's going to be a whitewash. Both the teams are going to give each other a really good fight and because of the injury problems in the Pakistan squad, it's going to be a little difficult for them.

Actually, I sometimes think that the reporters ask quite dumb questions. because obviously, players are going to say that they are really confident and have the capability of winning every match in the series. And probably say something to intermediate the opponent also. I am actually looking forward to seeing some sledding in the matches from both teams.

Yes its high time for Pakistan to prove there worth. PCB chairman said when NZ canceled there tour to Pakistn "Once you become a world-class team, people will start lining up to play. Everyone will want to play against you. So I want us to learn from this, move forward and keep strong. There is no need to be disappointed,"

Seeing the performance of both teams I don't think there will be a whitewash rather both teams priority will be to win the series. That's why its expected that good cricket will be seen.

I think that's the right way to go in Rawalpindi for Pakistan. As far as I know, the pitch is going to be pace friendly. But I think Australia is going to have a slight advantage because they don't have any injury problems like Pakistan do. But I think it's certainly not going to be a whitewash. But I certainly see Australia dominating. Though it's quite hard to predict anything about Australia because they haven't played much in Pakistan in recent times at all and there is not enough data to back any prediction up.

For both team this is going to be tough one. Australia is strong unit but we shouldn't forget that this is their first tour of Pakistan after very long time. Props to them if they successfully cross the finishing line but Pakistan playing at home so they do have slight advantage. Don't know much about other guy but Abdul Qadir is fine choice.

Every media house wants sensational news for more clicks and no one can do anything about it cause stupidity is new norm.

Pakistan are coming without there main bowlers and this thing must be in mind of Australian team. Australia are playing in Pakistan after 24 years so you are right we can't predict how Australia will perform here. Even Pakistan has not played much test at there home ground in last 12 years so they also are unpredictable here.

Tomorrow we have 12th test match which is going to play in Rawalpindi and from last 11 test matches Pakistan won 5 and draw 3 with just three teams able to Pakistan here Australia, Sri Lanka and India.

Fast bowlers are had very good record here so with this now I am feeling losing two main bowlers can hurt Pakistan very badly even they still have some good bowlers but Hassan Ali and Haris Rauf both were in good touch with their form and here Australia having very good advantage in presence of many options those can destroy any batting line-up without any big problem as we already watch in The Ashes but still we are going to have very exciting cricket between these two quality teams after very long time in Pakistan.

Both the teams are unpredictable. Pakistan has been an unpredictable team ever since they started playing test cricket. Australia on the other hand become one in the recent times. Pace bowling department is especially strong for these two teams, and it is the middle order batting where they are weak. For Australia, Steve Smith is not in very good form now and Pakistan depends a lot on Babar Azam. As you mentioned, Australia is touring Pakistan after so many years and it will be a prestige battle for both the teams.

Well first test is finally underway and so far things are going good for Pakistan at the end of first session. Of course we cant predict match outcome after first session. Pakistan is totally an unpredictable team, they have never won a match in WC and everyone was saying they will loss to India in T20 WC 2021  but they won by 10 wickets. In same WC semi final, they lost the match to Australia after dominating the hole game.
