Pakistan takes on Australia in their second and the final test match of the ongoing two-match series at Leeds starting from 21 July. After winning the first test at Lord’s, Australia is now 1-0 ahead in the series and now Pakistan must defeat Australia in order to level the series.
Australian cricket fans would like to see continuation of Australia’s dominating form over Pakistan. Aussies are in a 13-match winning streak against Pakistan in test cricket. An Australian defeat to Pakistan in a test match last time came 15 years back.
Pakistani cricket fans have nothing to be hopeful of Pakistan’s come back at Leeds. Pakistan’s batting line up is pretty weak, especially their middle order featuring Azhar Ali, Umar Amin, Umar Akmal and Kamran Akmal looks toothless. Their pacers can only give some hopes, bit it is really highly doubtful if that is enough to win a test match against Australia.

However, cricket fans in general would like to enjoy a competitive match. Though Australia won the first test by 150 runs in the end, there was a balance in the match till the 4th day. Ten Sports television channel is going to cover the second test live for its viewers. Ten Sports is a very popular sports channel in South Asia as well as in the Middle East. So, cricket fans of South Asia and Middle East can watch the match live on Ten Sports.
It is true that Australia is clearly favorite, but given Pakistan’s quality pace attack, one can not write off Pakistan yet. Even a draw would be considered as a satisfactory result for stand-in captain Salman Butt who now has to perform both as a leader as well as the most reliable batsman in his side.
