Pakistan will be captained by one of the best bowlers in the world, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and the hosts will rely on a strong core of experienced players, including Babar Azam, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, and Shadab Khan. Their fast-bowling attack is expected to be one of their biggest strengths, especially in home conditions where Rawalpindi often offers assistance to pacers with the new ball.
Australia, meanwhile, will enter the series with a slightly inexperienced squad because several regular players are unavailable due to injuries and IPL commitments. Josh Inglis will lead the side in the absence of Mitchell Marsh, while players like Cameron Green, Adam Zampa, Alex Carey, Matthew Short, and Marnus Labuschagne are expected to play key roles for the visitors.
