Pakistan seems likely to be the favourite for the final of the series against Australia, as their recent performances have been pretty good. Australia with a batting order almost inexperienced would need to get their game back right against a strong Pakistan's pace attack, and the chances are that Pakistan will hold their nerves to take the one-day series away from Perth at the end.
