Australia vs Pakistan Test series started on December 14 with the tremendous half-century of Australian opener Devid Warner.
After a poor performance in the ODI World Cup, Pakistan has finally realized the importance of longer format games. They have reached Australia to learn a lesson on how to perform in big matches from the World winners. However, the leader has been changed this time, and Pakistanis are looking for a new rhythm.
On the other hand, Australia lost the T20 series against India soon after winning the World Cup. In this Australia vs Pakistan series, the Australians will also look to recover in their home conditions. Pat Cummins will continue his journey as captain and will try to dominate Pakistan with the support of Devid Warner and Steven Smith.
