TFG Fantasy Pundit: Aus top-order batsmen and seamers key for the MCG game

Overview 

We expect the Pakistani batsmen to fair much better at MCG after their second innings heroics in Brisbane. But we feel the Australian batters will give more points. The hosts are going unchanged, but the visitors might make a change in their bowling department. 

Probable 11

AUS- Warner, Renshaw, Khawaja, Smith, Maddinson, Handscomb, Wade, Starc, Hazlewood, Lyon, Bird 

PAK- Aslam, Ali, Younus, Azam, Misbah, Shafiq, Sarfaraz, Amir, Yasir, Wahab, Imran/Sohail 

Players who cannot be missed

Warner- His rather relatively average run in Tests in recent innings might come to an end at the MCG. 

Smith- The Aussie skipper looks imperious and it would be folly to leave him out. 

Azam- Will continue to bank on his talent and class to get runs at MCG. 

Shafiq- After his heroics in Brisbane, it will be tough to ignore him. Will be high on confidence.

Starc- Will continue to be the lead bowler for the hosts. Drop him and you will pay the price. 

TFG Pundit XI: 

BAT- Warner, Smith (vc), Khawaja, Babar, Shafiq 
BOWL- Bird, Amir, Hazlewood 
A/R- Ali, Starc(C)
W/K- Ahmed 

Happy Hunting!!!
