Australia will face Pakistan in the 1st ODI of the Pakistan tour of Australia, 2024 on Monday, November 4, 2024, at Melbourne Cricket Ground. This article will cover match details, pitch report, playing XI, player stats, Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips for the AUS vs PAK match.
Match Preview
Pakistan heads into a challenging ODI series against Australia amid a period of struggle in white-ball cricket. Following a disappointing T20 World Cup, Pakistan has reshuffled its leadership, with Mohammad Rizwan stepping in as the new ODI captain. Rizwan faces a tough test as he looks to reinvigorate the team and lead them to a series victory.
Babar Azam, who recently stepped down from the captaincy, returns to the squad after being dropped for two Test matches. Known for his world-class batting, Babar will be eager to prove himself and regain form. On the bowling front, Pakistan’s bowlers face a tough task against Australia’s powerful batting lineup, which will be bolstered by Pat Cummins’ return to the ODI squad after the 2023 World Cup final.
Australia’s middle order, which has struggled for stability, will also be under close watch as they look to find consistency in this series. With both teams aiming to address weaknesses, this promises to be a competitive and closely-fought series.

Pitch Report
The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) offers a pitch that’s generally ideal for batters, promising a high-scoring match. A target around 320 to 350 runs is competitive here, as the surface provides reliable bounce and pace that encourages free-flowing stroke play.
Teams winning the toss often opt to bowl first, capitalizing on conditions that favor batters as the game progresses, especially under the lights when chasing becomes easier.
Bowlers will need to stay precise with their lines, as the expansive outfield adds further challenge for fielding sides aiming to restrict runs.
