What Have The Two Teams Done Recently?
Australia
Since losing to South Africa in the second game of the 2023 World Cup, Australia have played 17 ODIs in total and won 15 of them. At one stage they were on a 14-match unbeaten streak before England won a couple of games in their five-match series in September.
Australia came back to grab the final match of that series to clinch the series 3-2.
Pakistan
Pakistan haven’t played an ODI since their exit from the 2023 World Cup in India. That makes it nearly a year since their last one-day international and while most of their players were involved in the domestic Champions One-Day Cup, this would be a different kettle of fish.

Australia vs Pakistan 1st ODI Preview & Predictions with Latest Odds*
Such has been Australia’s form heading into this ODI series that it’s tough to see any team dismantling them from their position except probably if they decide to rest some of their main guys as they prepare for the India Tests later in the month.
More so because they are up against a side which has been in the middle of a bit of upheaval with the changes in their selection committee, white-ball coach and captain.
Mohammad Rizwan has been given that leadership role while Jason Gillespie takes over from the outgoing Gary Kirsten as the white ball coach for this tour as well. While Gillespie’s presence might help given his Aussie connection, overcoming their opponents in their own land might not be as easy as they would like.
