Pakistan and Australia tour of UAE 2018

Pakistan and Australia clash with each other in UAE for two match test series followed by three T20s from October 7 to October 28. The Australian side is pretty inexperienced and lacking firepower due to the continued absence of Steve Smith and David Warner. Tim Paine has been tasked with captaining the Aussies.

The Pakistani Bowling attack comprising of Yasir Shah, Wahab Riaz and Shadab Khan would be relishing to damage the Aussie batting in favourable conditions. While captain Sarfraz Ahmed would look to put behind recent concluded Asia Cup 2018 debacle.

The Australian batting comprising of captain Tim Paine, Shaun Marsh and Aaron Finch among others need to put a formidable score on the board to challenge the hosts. The bowling department is pretty much experienced with the likes of Mitchell Starc and Peter Siddle leading the attack.

The first test will be played from October 7 to October 11 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai with the second commencing from October 16 to 20 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. The matches will start at 11:30 AM IST.

The two sides will also play three T20s. The first will be played on October 24, second on October 26 and the last T20 on October 28. We have the full squad of both the teams here.
