This will be Australia’s first Test series since they drew the Ashes 2-2 in England during June and July. This is the first time since 2019 that Australia are taking on Pakistan in Test cricket at home and Pat Cummins’ side will be confident of going 1-0 up.
Australia’s batters love spending time at the crease in home Test Matches and making the opposition bowlers suffer in the hot temperatures. Usman Khawaja had an excellent Ashes series and Travis Head will be keen to continue his impressive all-format form in this Test.
After missing the T20I series with India, skipper Pat Cummins will be back to lead the team and the bowling attack in this Test. Nathan Lyon will also return to the Test side after he was forced out of the Ashes series during the Lord’s Test.
Australia have a fantastic Test record at home but come into this match with no wins from their last three games in this format.

With Babar Azam standing down as captain after the 2023 Cricket World Cup in India last month, this will be the first opportunity to see Shan Masood in the leadership role. This is Pakistan’s first Test since July when they toured Sri Lanka.
With the captaincy pressures no longer hanging over him, we can expect Babar Azam to take his game to a new level. He already averages 47.74 from 88 Test innings and we anticipate he will be well supported by the likes of Saud Shakeel who is averaging a remarkable 87.50 after seven Tests.
Pakistan’s selectors were disappointed to see Haris Rauf rule himself out of this series and the bowling attack will certainly be weaker without him. Shaheen Shah Afridi will bowl with pace and will be backed up by the enthusiastic Mohammad Wasim. Spinner Noman Ali will be a threat when the pitch starts to turn.
Pakistan come to the Perth Stadium targeting their third successive Test victory.

This is a new era for Pakistan cricket under a new captain but it could not be a harder place to start against Australia who are so strong and dominant in front of their own fans. Australia are at full strength for this opening Test of the series and we are backing them to win in Perth
