After almost one-year, Pakistan will play an ODI match as they gear up to take on the World Champions, Australia in a 3-match series, starting on November 4, Monday. Pakistan's white-ball team has been going through a lean patch and the series provides a great chance to get back to winning ways.

For Pakistan to win a series in Australia, they need their best player, Babar Azam to fire all guns blazing. The former skipper has endured a tough 2024 as he was even dropped from the Test team recently. However, the elegant batter boasts a stellar record against the Aussies will be eager to get some runs ahead of the Champions Trophy in February 2025.

Hence, with the ODI series starting, we look at Babar's brilliant record against the champion Australian side.

Babar Azam's ODI record Vs Australia

As the stats show, Babar has played 10 matches Vs Australia and has scored 606 runs in total. Interestingly, people say he plays with a low-strike-rate, but against the Aussies, he always ups the ante and has struck at 92.52.

Moreover, he has slammed 3 centuries against the Aussies and has been a highly successful player against them.

Why is Babar so successful against the Aussies?

When you take into account Australia-s top bowlers - Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitch Starc, they mostly rely on hit the deck bowling, particularly Cummins and Hazlewood.

Babar is a supreme player off the back-foot and as a result he enjoys the hit the deck bowling as it allows him to play on the back-foot, where he can execute the punches and the square cut. On Australian pitches this time around, the bowlers will try and pitch it a bit further up.
