Pakistan will face Australia in the second and final Test of their series in the United Arab Emirates with the winner set to claim the series victory. The match is set to get underway on Tuesday, October 16 at 5pm (AEDT), with it being played at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
After grimly hanging on for a draw in the first Test of the series, Australia will look to carry whatever momentum they gained from the fifth day into Abu Dhabi against a frustrated Pakistan side.
The hosts, who knocked Australia over for 202 in the first innings before giving themselves four and a half sessions to win the match in the field, couldn’t get the job done across 140 overs, ending two wickets short of the victory.
Australia only lost five wickets on the final day as they held out the Pakistan attack, with Usman Khawaja, Travis Head and Tim Paine the key men.
