                      At the beginning of the tour lot thought that Pakistan would give Australia a stiff challenge in the longer format, but it had gone the other way around and now they face Aussie in the shorter format where they ruling it from a long time, for Pakistan though they are in a mini crisis to Spot a direct qualification for WC19 and they look to take each win in the 5 match ODi series which is set commence at Gabba on Friday.

            Every win is so vital for Pakistan from now on to the due date for the qualification of WC19 but things turning the other way with Mohammad Irfan and Sarfaraz left home on personal reasons which directly has an impact on the squad. While Amir's and Raiz fitness gonna be on radar with heavy workloads in the test series.

             It always has been the problem for Pakistan in recent times, to couldn't get the things thick and fast when comes to batting, where the modern games producing high scoring totals and with there lack of depth in their batting they need to do most work with their typical batsmen.

               On the other hand Australia hadn't lost any form when it comes to ODI Cricket they are as good as ever and at home even more dominating. They clean swept Kiwis in the recently concluded Series and that series has been feature of making big totals and this series won't be indifferent.

           Although the present series squad features new faces in the form of Lynn, stanlake which might be their build up to Champions trophy with young Players. While Maxwel return is always an handy asset to possess as Aussie in the mood of Big Bash with big hits.

Pitch

                   The pitch at Gabba produced high scoring games in the  past year or so, and with the recent pitches being offered during Chapell- Hadlee series are high scoring ones and it might be the trend that going continue in this series as well.

Australia

                 The playing XI as been annouced prior to the frist ODI which features Lynn and handing a debut to Stanlake and with the pitch expected to no aid for spinners they are happy to leave Zampa out.

Pakistan

                With Sarfaraz and irfan absence makes Pakistan to think about Hafeez who as been added to the squad recently and Amir and Raiz has to be share the paceers role alongside Hasan Ali.
