PAK vs AUS 3rd Test Match Prediction & Betting Tips
After draws in Rawalpindi and Karachi, the third and Final Test between Pakistan and Australia takes place in Lahore from 21-25th March. Australia came within 3 wickets of winning the second Test, a game which saw three centurions and 28 wickets fall across the five days. Read on as we preview this Third Test. The game begins at the Gadaffi Stadium at 10:00 local time.
Pakistan showed plenty of character in Karachi to save the Test after being bowled out for 148 in their first innings. At one point they looked like they might chase down their target of 506 and they will be full of confidence for this Test.
Australia were in charge of the Second Test throughout and will still be wondering how they were unable to win that game. They will need to raise themselves again for this match.

Hasan Ali came back into the side for the Second Test in Karachi and took a wicket in both innings. After they showed such an improvement over the last couple of days of the Test, we expect to see Pakistan keep faith with the same XI in this match.
PAK Key Players
- Babar Azam- the skipper came within 4 runs of his first Test double-century in the last game and he will be keen to contribute another big score for this team in this match.
- Faheem Ashraf- the bowling all-rounder returned to the team in Karachi and did not produce his best performance. However, he will have benefited from the game and at his best contributes with bat and ball.
- Shaheen Shah Afridi- the left-arm fast bowler picked up the wicket of Mitchell Starc in the first innings and Marnus Labuschagne in the second innings in Karachi.
