Pakistan Tour of Australia 2024 - 1st ODI - Australia vs Pakistan- Cricket Betting Tips and Match Predictions: November 4th

Here are the Fantasy Cricket Predictions and Betting Tips for the Pakistan Tour of Australia, 1st ODI Match - Australia vs Pakistan, which will be played on the 4th of November at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, MCG.

1st ODI Match - Australia vs Pakistan (Melbourne Cricket Ground, MCG)


Current Form Australia:

Australia are currently placed at the 2nd position on ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings with a rating of 114.

Australia have been in superb form in ODI cricket. They have recently beaten England in a 5 match ODI series by 3-2 and that too in the English conditions.

Although they will be missing the likes of Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head, Australia still have enough firepower in their squad to help them dominate Australia in the upcoming matches.

Players to look out for:

1. Jake Fraser McGurk - He is one of the best young talents in Australia. If McGurk gets going in the 50 overs format as well, he will dominate the opposition teams in the coming years.

2. Josh Hazlewood - He has been a consistent performer for Australia with the ball. Hazlewood bowls with utmost accuracy and more often than not, provides his team with early breakthroughs.

Current Form Pakistan:

Pakistan are currently placed at the 3rd position on ICC Men's ODI Team Rankings with a rating of 106.

Pakistan haven't played a single ODI since the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023. They performed recently in the World Cup with Fakhar Zaman shining bright in the league games.

Pakistan will not start as favorites for the ODI series but they have players who on their day can certainly cause upsets against world class teams.

Players to look out for:

1. Kamran Ghulam - He is in good form currently. Ghulam will play in the top order of Pakistan and he is expected to be their best batter in the ODI series.

2. Naseem Shah - He is a top quality swing bowler and the Australian conditions will certainly aid his bowling.

Let’s have a look at the squads:
