Pakistan are favorites to win
The second of three Tests between Pakistan and Australia takes place in Karachi from 12-16th March. The first Test Match ended in a draw after only 14 wickets fell across the five days in Rawalpindi. There were four centuries for Pakistan and zero for Australia. Read on as we preview this Second Test. The game begins at the National Stadium, Karachi at 10:00 local time.
Pakistan had the better of the opening Test but will still need to perform to a higher standard if they are to get this win. With more penetration from their bowling attack, they could be successful.
Although they did not score a century and took zero wickets from 77 overs in Pakistan’s second innings, Australia can still take positives from Rawalpindi. A big first innings total will give them a great chance of victory in Karachi.
Sony Sports Network will broadcast the series in India with PTV showing it in Pakistan. Sky Cricket will show the game in the UK.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Sony LIV and SkyGo.
Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first in the opening Test. We predict that both skippers will choose to bat first if they win the toss ahead of this clash.
The surface in Karachi was spinner friendly in January of this year when Pakistan beat South Africa. We expect a similar pitch for this game with both teams requiring a first innings total of over 350 to be in the match.
The temperature will be over 30 degrees with plenty of sunshine throughout this Test.

We expect to see at least two changes to the Pakistan XI with players coming back to full fitness. Faheem Ashraf is still unavailable but we understand that Haris Rauf and Hasan Ali are likely to come into the side. Iftikhar Ahmed and Naseem Shah are expected to miss out in Karachi.
Pakistan are unbeaten in their last four Tests.
Abdullah Shafique, Imam ul-Haq, Azhar Ali, Babar Azam (c), Fawad Alam, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Haris Rauf, Nauman Ali, Sajid Khan, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi
After Australia used nine bowlers in Pakistan’s second innings, it would be a huge surprise if they did not make changes for this game. We expect to see Mitchell Swepson come in to make his Test debut and to form part of a spin duo with Nathan Lyon.
Although Australia have been in fine Test form, they have drawn two of their last three games.
Usman Khawaja, David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Swepson
Only two of the last 24 Test Matches between the sides have ended in draws.
| Matches Played | PAK Won | AUS Won | Tie | Draw | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall | 67 | 15 | 33 | 0 | 19 |
| Last 5 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 2 |
Pakistan are favourites to take a 1-0 lead into the final Test.
Imam ul-Haq was the star performer with the bat in Rawalpindi although we also saw centuries from Azhar Ali and Abdullah Shafique. It would be a surprise if no Australian batters made three figures this time.
Babar Azam, Imam ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique are our batting tips for Pakistan. Shafique and ul-Haq produced opening partnerships of 100+ for both innings
Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja are our batting recommendations for Australia. Smith hit 78 from 196 balls in Rawalpindi.
For Pakistan, Nauman Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Hasan Ali are our bowling tips. Hasan Ali has 72 wickets from 12 Test Matches.
For Australia, Pat Cummins, Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Swepson are our bowling tips. We expect to see the two Australian spinners in the side get some turn in Karachi.
Although there was some negativity about the entertainment value on display in Rawalpindi, you could not argue with the volume of runs scored. We expect this game to be more exciting and to see more than the 14 wickets we saw last week. Our prediction is for a Pakistan victory.
