Australia are set to host Pakistan for the final match of their three-match Test series on January 3. Australia leads the series 2-0 and will play the 3rd and final Test at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney.
In the first encounter of the series, the Australians were merciless. In the second game, Pakistan showed some fight but ended up on the losing end as they could not land the killer blow. With one game remaining, they will be looking for a similar showing in Sydney to finish the series.

AUS vs PAK: Pitch Report
It is anticipated that Sydney’s pitch would be batting-friendly. The surface might not be able to provide the pacers with much assistance. Nathan Lyon and Salman Agha’s roles might be crucial since the spinners might be used later in the game. It should be desirable to win the toss as well as bat first.
