Pakistan has always generally found it tough against most Australian teams of the past and present. In Australia- Pakistan matches , Australia generally have the upper hand and Australia always start as favourites against Pakistan. Pakistan havent defeated Australia in test matches since 2019, havent defeated Australia in ODI's since 2017 and they havent defeated Australia in Twenty20 Internationals since 2018. They have a pathetic record against Australia and it seems they have some psychological issues with Australia if not talent wise or professional issues. The last tour of Pakistan in 1998 by Australia wasnt a fruitful one for Pakistan. Pakistan lost the test series 1-0 to Australia and the ODI series 3-0 to Australia in 1998 Australian tour of Pakistan. Mark Taylor was the captain of Australia in their last tour of Pakistan in 1998.
Given that recently Australia has a pathetic record in test cricket in the sub continent. I rate Pakistan's chances highly in test matches because Australian's have an hereditary weakness against spin and in Pakistan spinning and turning pitches will be prepared. Pitches in Pakistan dont suit Australian bowler of fast and bouncy type of bowling so Pakistani batting will enjoy the Australian bowling. Australian batsmen have a weakness against quality spin bowling so Sajid Khan and Nauman Ali can lick their lips.
Pakistan is a weak ODI team. They dont have the firepower in both the batting and bowling departments in ODI cricket. In batting their batsmen seldom score in excess of 300 runs which is a necessity in modern day ODI cricket and in bowling they lack penetration to bowl the opposition out.
Our Twenty20 team is extremely good, and I have a lots of hope from twenty20 team which reached the semi finals of Twenty20 World Cup in 2021 held in UAE and also we have to take revenge from Australia for defeating us in the semi finals of that World Cup.
In the end I will like to say Pakistan cricket team is in a roll winning 14 out of their last 15 international matches under Saqlain Mushtaq's coaching. I am sure Pakistan cricket team will give a tough fight to Australia.
