The 3-match nerve-wracking Test series came to a conclusion last week, as Australia won the final game of the series. The visitors clinched the series by a score-line of 1-0. Now, the two sides lock horns in a 3-match ODI series. Australia will welcome back their white-ball skipper Aaron Finch, who bats at the top of the order.

Meanwhile, Pakistan will be led by Babar Azam. All 3 matches will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, as both teams will look to kick start their World Cup 2023 preparations in style. Australia will look to experiment with their squad, given they are missing several experienced names.
