This is a five-match ODI series between these two exciting cricketing nations. After the Shameful whitewash of Pakistan, their confidence level must be down. But the recent victory of Pakistan over Cricket Australia XI must have given a little boost to their confidence.
Babar Azam back in form by smashing 98 runs in this Warm-up match. We could say that it was a whole team performance because Sharjeel Khan performed well too. Umar Akmal scored his fifty. Pakistan’s only problem is batting from ages which seems to be resolving after looking at this tour match performance.
Match scheduled to begin at 13:20 local time (03:20 GMT)
