Australia opt to field. 

PAK v AUS Fantasy XI: 

• Wicket-keepers - Mohammad Rizwan
• Batters - Asif Ali, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, David Warner
• All-rounders - Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh
• Bowlers - Shaheen Afridi, Hasan Ali, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

PAK v AUS Preview: 

Pakistani batters are in brilliant form in this tournament. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are giving a terrific start, while middle-order batters like Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, and Asif Ali are cashing in on the set platform. 

The bowlers have done well and kept things tight. The trio of Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, and Haris Rauf have picked up regular wickets, while Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan have supported them well. 

David Warner's form is a welcome sign for Australia. Mitchell Marsh is the game-changer for them with both bat as well as the ball along with Glenn Maxwell. 

Adam Zampa is the key bowler. He has done well so far in the middle overs where he has choked runs and picked wickets. Josh Hazlewood will be crucial. 

PAK v AUS Probable Playing XI: 

• Pakistan - Mohammad Rizwan/ Sarfaraz Ahmed (wk), Babar Azam (c), Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik/ Haider Ali, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Hasan Ali, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi
• Australia - David Warner, Aaron Finch (c), Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Steven Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade (wk), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
