AUS Vs PAK: The Aussies have been a dominant team in world cricket. They are the team who have won the most ICC trophies and recently Cummins and Co also won the ODI World Cup 2023.
Australia is also a very dangerous side in the red ball format as well. They won the World Test Championship (WTC) as well this year.
The Australians are a tough team to beat in all conditions and they are the most difficult opposition when they play on their home soil. Pakistan is on a tour of Australia currently for three-match series in the red ball format. The Baggy Greenside has won the 1st Test match in Perth by 360 runs and also led the series by a margin of one nil.
The second match of this red ball series will be played at MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) from 26th to 30th December 2023, which is known as the Boxing Day Test match and Pakistan’s tour of Australia will end at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). The third and the final red ball game of this series will be played from 3rd to 7th January 2024.

4 red ball matches have been won by the men in green side.

Pakistan has never a Test series on the soil of the Australians like Team India did it twice on their tours of 2019 and 2021. The men in green side have also never won a single red ball game in Australia since the year of 1995.
Pakistan played their first ever Test match in Australia in 1964 and till to date, they have managed to win just four red ball games. After losing the first Test match of the current tour, it looks difficult for the men in green side to create history in Australia.
The men in green won their first-ever red ball match in Australia at Sydney Cricket Ground on 14th January 1977. They won that game by a margin of eight wickets.
The second red ball match win for Pakistan was at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 10th March 1979 and they won that encounter by 71 runs.
Pakistan's third Test win in Australia was a mammoth one. The visitors defeated the mighty Aussies on their home ground by an innings and 82 runs. That huge win came on the ground of Melbourne Cricket Ground on 11th December 1981.
The last win for Pakistan in Australia had come in 1995. The men in green side had won that red ball encounter by 74 runs and that Test match was played in Sydney Cricket Ground on 30th November 1995.
The Pakistanis can draw some inspiration from these wins in MCG and SCG because they will play the last two red ball matches on that venues only.
