Pakistan and Australia will meet in the second game of their three-match test series on Saturday, March 12. The Karachi National Stadium will host the match.
The opening test in Rawalpindi ended in a draw and the nature of the course drew much criticism. Former captain Steve Smith called the track “dead and benign”. David Warner said the pitch in Karachi should provide at least a 20 per cent chance of producing a result.
Meanwhile, the hosts welcomed Faheem Ashraf to the team after the all-rounder passed the rapid antigen test. Previously, he had tested positive for COVID-19. Pakistan is also confident that Hasan Ali would be fit for the game. Meanwhile, Haris Rauf is back in contention for selection.
Visitors have concerns in the fast bowling department. While Pat Cummins picked up a wicket, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Star returned without a wicket from the Rawalpindi test.
Mitchell Swepson is set to make his Test debut and join Nathan Lyon on the spinning attack. If Swepson does play, he will be the first player to play Tests for Australia since 2009 after Bryce McGain.
Australian batsmen are in very good form, although none of them have scored centuries in a batting paradise.
