The SCG (Sydney Cricket Ground) is all set to host the AUS vs PAK Test match from January 3-7 2024. This is the final Test of the three-match series. Australia have already won the series by winning the first two Tests.

Australia won the Perth Test by 360 runs and the MCG Test by 79 runs, They were 16/4 in the second innings and finished on 264 with Mitchell Marsh (96), Steve Smith (50), and Alex Carey (53) coming up with crucial contributions.

The SCG Test match will be David Warner’s final Test of his career. He is 305 runs short of getting to 9000 Test runs. With 208 runs, Warner is the second-highest run-getter of this Test series so far. He might well end u as the highest run-getter if he has a good Test match.

Pakistan are down to the fifth position in the WTC points table after losing the second Test. They need to win this Test match to get a few points out of this series. The management is looking to make a few changes to the playing XI for the final test match. They are looking to replace Imam-Ul-Haq with a specialist spinner. Imam scored 10 and 12 in the two innings of the second test.

Pakistan played an all-pace attack and missed a spinner sorely in the XI. Sajid Khan is the specialist spinner on the side. The likes of Abrar Ahmed and Noman are out of the series injured. Speedster Shaheen Afridi is not in the best of form heading into this Test match. He has conceded the most runs among all the bowlers in the series so far.

Australia will be led by Pat Cummins who had had a fabulous year in 2023. He retained the Ashes and won the WTC 2023 final, the World Cup final, and the final Test match of 2023 as well. He would look to start 2024 on a winning note by winning the third Test and wrapping up the series 3-0. Barring any injury concerns, Australis should play the same side in Sydney.
