PAK vs AUS 11Wickets Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for 2nd Test Match

Preview:

Australia and Pakistan will lock horns in the 2nd Test of the three-match series. The opening match ended in a dull draw which saw more than 1187 runs being scored across three innings and only 14 wickets falling because of which the ICC has rated the pitch below average and even handed a demerit point. It was certainly not how Pakistan wanted to welcome the visitors after 24 long years.

While Australia are top of the WTC points table with 4 wins and 2 draws in 6 matches. On the other hand, Pakistan are placed second with 3 wins, 1 loss, and a draw in 5 matches and both teams move to Karachi now and there are 12 points up for grabs as both teams look to make progress in the WTC points table and this promises to be a spectacular match.
