"Australia is tough in home conditions," said Misbah of an Australian side who have only lost once to Pakistan in their last ten home matches. Pakistan's most recent win against Australia in Australia came in Perth in 2005 and they have lost their last seven one-day internationals away to the Aussies. "Everyone is calling them favourites and if any other team beat them then it's called an upset, so for us if we can do that then it's very good for Pakistan cricket as well," said Misbah, The Adelaide Oval is familiar territory for Pakistan, who lost their World Cup opener to defending champions India at the South Australia ground before defeating Ireland there in the pool phase. "When you are playing more games at a certain venue you tend to adopt the conditions well," said Misbah. "You know the dimensions well, you are used to that atmosphere and that can help you," he added. Australian captain Michael Clare, on Thursday, said the team management was undecided on the playing eleven for the quarter-final clash against Pakistan. Australia are known to make public their playing combination on the eve of the match but have deferred this time owing to a 'greenish tinge' on the Adelaide Oval surface. The think-tank will have to take a call on which of Josh Hazlewood or Pat Cummins takes the third seamer's spot. "We want to assess the wicket again today," Clarke told reporters. "Everyone is 100 per cent fit and available for selection so that is a real positive for us and obviously a good problem to have for selectors. It's more for the selectors to be 100 per cent sure, confirm what they think in regards to looking at the pitch and make their decision. All 15 players are fit and prepared, if they are given the opportunity."
