The Australian and Pakistan cricket teams will commence their three-match ODI series at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on November 4. The action is slated to commence from 9:00 AM IST onwards and the series constitutes a pivotal benchmark in the 2025 Champions Trophy preparation roadmap for both sides.

Ahead of this game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy cricket tips, the pitch report and the best predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.

AUS vs PAK 1st ODI Preview

The Australian cricket team recently secured an emphatic 3-2 series win over England away from home. Backed with the winning momentum, the reigning ODI world champions will also be emboldened with the return of their 2023 World Cup winning skipper Pat Cummins as well as with the familiarity of home conditions. In the absence of Travis Head, fellow batting stars Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne will hold key to Australia’s batting prospects, especially in the middle order. Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell will helm Australia’s spin department while Mitchell Starc will likely share the new ball with Sean Abbott.

The Pakistan team, under the leadership of newly-appointed captain Mohammad Rizwan, will be making their return to the game’s ODI lore after a gap of one year. Pakistan’s batting prospects against Australia’s raging attack will largely depend upon senior pros Babar Azam and captain Rizwan himself, alongside rising star and in-form batter Abdullah Shafique. Shaheen Afridi is set to helm Pakistan’s pace attack by teaming up with young Naseem Shah as well as with Haris Rauf.
