Despite Pakistan's team director Mohammad Hafeez stating that his side were superior in the 2nd Test, the Aussies have had the last laugh by claiming the series going in the SCG Test match.
Moreover, the Australian cricket team will look to make it three wins in a row and give David Warner a memorable goodbye as the latter bids adieu to Test cricket at the SCG. Pakistan have reportedly set to rope in 21-year-old Saim Ayub for the SCG Test. Although Ayub has featured in 8 T20Is in 2023, he is also a specialist in the Test arena, having played 14 FC games.
