Yasir Shah set to star for Pakistan Sheikh Zayed Stadium

Second Test
7am Tuesday

Australia will surely take heart from their great escape draw in Dubai last week, courtesy of Usman Khawaja, Travis Head and Tim Paine, when they take to the field at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.

However, it is hard to ignore the fact that 10-11 Pakistan were so dominant for so long in that match, put the pressure on again when they finally dismissed Khawaja, and had won five and drawn four of the previous nine Tests in Abu Dhabi.

The best bet looks to be ace Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah to get 141 or more performance points. He has taken 18 wickets - 20 points are awarded for each victim - in his last two Abu Dhabi Tests, has a decent pair of hands in the field - ten points per catch - and can chisel out runs with the bat.

Recommendation
Yasir Shah performance over 140.5 points
2pts 8-11 bet365
