Pakistan vs Australia - A head to head comparison

 


Australia generally speaking have always started as favourites whenever they faced Pakistan particularly in Australian conditions and especially in test matches. Such is the dominance of Australia over Pakistan in test match cricket that Pakistan has never won a test series on Australian soil. The last time Pakistan beat Australia in Australia was the Sydney test in 1995 under Wasim Akram's captaincy. In Pakistan's home tests versus Australia the last time they won a test series against Australia was 1-0 under Salim Malik's captaincy in 1994. That series too was controversial as Mark Waugh, Shane Warne and Tim May claimed that Salim Malik offered them bribes to under perform.

In ODI's the situation is slightly better with Pakistan winning the ODI series 2-1 as recently as last year in 2024 on Australian soil against Australia. In 2022 Pakistan have also won the bilateral ODI series in 2022 at home against Australia 2-1. 

In twenty20 internationals the gap between Australian and Pakistani teams becomes even narrower. With Pakistan winning equal number of matches against Australia in twenty20 internationals.

In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan's performance against Australia in test matches need to improve as last time Pakistan beat Australia in a test series was 2018.
