Australia are all set to kickstart their three-match ODI series against Pakistan on May 30 with the first game set to be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The series comes as the teams begin their preparation for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, set to be played in October-November 2027. The two teams will lock horns in as many as three ODI matches until June 4. While the first will be played in Rawalpindi, the next two matches will be held at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on June 2 and 4.
Notably, this is the first time that the two teams will play an ODI series, having last played in Australia in November 2024. That time, the Men in Green had returned victorious with a 2-1 margin. While the Pakistan men are coming fresh from a 1-2 drubbing against Bangladesh in an ODI series, Australia last played an ODI series in October 2025 against India, which they won by a 2-1 margin.
