Pakistan vs Australia: 5th ODI on Thursday

ADELAIDE - The fifth and final one-day international of the five match series between Pakistan and Australia will be played at Adelaide tomorrow (Thursday).

The home side leads the five-match series 3-1. The match will start at 08:20 am Pakistan time, which corresponds to 01:20 pm Australian time, 03:20 GMT and 08:00 am according to Indian time.

Star Sports Select HD 2 will telecast live action for viewers in Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, while Channel Nine will broadcast in Australia, BT Sport in the UK and Willow Sports in the US.

Viewers in Pakistan and UAE can also watch the action on PTV Sports and Ten Sports.

The Adelaide Oval pitch is always good for batting. The forecast for Thursday is for a sunny day with a top temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.

The Aussies have not played an ODI at the Adelaide Oval since the 2015 World Cup match that featured a memorably feisty Wahab Riaz spell against Shane Watson.

Adelaide Oval is comfortably Australia's worst home ODI venue in recent times: in the past six years, they have played seven ODIs there and won only three.

Pakistan have been previously whitewashed 3-0 in the Test series by the Aussies.
