Australia is set to take on Pakistan in the 2nd Test starting on Thursday, October 30.

The match in Abu Dhabi is slated to start at 5 p.m. AEDT (11 a.m. PKT, 6 a.m. GMT).

The match will be broadcast on Fox Sports in Australia, PTV in Pakistan, and Zee Cinema in the United Kingdom.

Live streaming will be available through the broadcasters.

The 2nd Test caps a long series that started on October 5, when Australia won a T20 International by 6 wickets.

Australia then won a 3 ODI series.

But Pakistan won the 1st Test by 221 runs. 

CricInfo notes that the victory in Dubai sets Pakistan up for its first victory over Australia since November 1994.

“The victory in Dubai was not simply a rousing result, for it was among the most complete Test match performances seen anywhere in recent times. After winning a key toss, Misbah-ul-Haq’s team soaked up the pressure applied by Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle before attacking Nathan Lyon and milking the more limited offerings of Steve O'Keefe,”  it said.

“Rahat Ali, Imran Khan, Zulfiqur Babar and Yasir Shah then proceeded to tie Australia’s batsmen in familiar knots. Those knots had been glimpsed during the tour match, and it will take a major change of mindset to prevent them from returning in Abu Dhabi.

“Nonetheless, the biggest question this week will be how much Pakistan truly believe they can beat Australia, and how much Michael Clarke’s team are prepared to accept the prospect of being defeated by an opponent they have become so accustomed to swatting aside, even after the baggy green XI was no longer a gathering of giants. Twenty years is a long time, but so too are five days.”
