- 🏆 Australia tour of Pakistan 2026
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is one of the best batting surfaces in Pakistan, with true bounce and a quick outfield. The new ball offers some early movement before the pitch settles for batting.
Pakistan have been in solid ODI form at home, with Babar Azam leading the batting with consistency. Shaheen Shah Afridi is the spearhead of their pace attack, his left-arm swing with a new ball at Rawalpindi is particularly dangerous. Mohammad Rizwan provides explosive top-order runs and his wicket-keeping offers bonus fantasy points.
Australia arrive in excellent ODI form with a strong all-round squad. Cameron Green is their standout all-rounder, capable of explosive batting and useful pace bowling. Josh Inglis provides wicket-keeping value plus aggressive stroke play. Pat Cummins leads the pace attack. Matthew Short and Cooper Connolly add depth with bat and ball.
Babar at home in Rawalpindi is the safest captain choice of the match. His outstanding ODI average (56+), home ground familiarity, and captain's role make him the go-to 2× multiplier pick. The surface suits his style, he can bat all 50 overs if needed, guaranteeing a high fantasy score.
Green's dual all-rounder contribution, bat AND pace bowling, makes him the ideal VC. If Babar scores big, Green's bowling wickets still give you differential points. If Babar has a quiet day, Green batting in the top 6 can be your hero. He's the perfect captain hedge.
- Babar Azam(PAK)
Babar is the heart of Pakistan's batting and their most reliable scorer in ODIs. His elegant stroke play, high average (56+), and ability to build partnerships make him a cornerstone fantasy pick. At Rawalpindi, on a surface he knows well, he is the standout must-pick of the match.
- Shaheen Shah Afridi(PAK)
Shaheen is the most dangerous new-ball bowler in this fixture. His ability to swing the ball both ways early in the innings at Rawalpindi, where conditions help seamers in the first 10 overs, makes him a high-ceiling fantasy pick. He also scores vital runs at No. 8.
- Cameron Green(AUS)
Green is the ultimate dual-contribution player in this fixture. He is capable of a 50+ score batting in the top 6 AND can take wickets with his brisk medium pace. This two-way contribution potential gives him one of the highest fantasy ceilings of any player in the match.
- Josh Inglis(AUS)
Inglis provides keeper bonus points plus aggressive batting at the top or middle order. He has been Australia's preferred ODI keeper since Adam Gilchrist era successors and plays with a high strike rate. A score of 60–80 from Inglis is entirely plausible on this surface.
- Mohammad Rizwan(PAK)
Rizwan is Pakistan's most explosive top-order batter in white-ball cricket. His wicket-keeping bonus combined with his ability to attack from the first over makes him a premium fantasy asset. He and Babar together at the top is Pakistan's most dangerous batting combination.
