context_page_description: Australia cricket team toured the United Arab Emirates from 5 October to 3 November 2014 and played one Twenty20 International, three One Day Internationals and two Test matches against Pakistan. The series was played in the UAE owing to ongoing security concerns in Pakistan. The limited over matches were dominated by Australia while a rampant Pakistan whitewashed the Test series.
context_section_description: Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat.
  Mitchell Marsh and Stephen O'Keefe (Aus) and Imran Khan and Yasir Shah (Pak) made their Test debuts.
  Younis Khan became the all-time leading century maker for Pakistan in the second innings.
  Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat in what was tipped to be a pitch that would gradually deteriorate. Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle removed the Pakistani openers, Mohammad Hafeez (0) and Ahmed Shehzad (3), in the first few overs. However, Pakistan steadied to end the day at 219/4 with Younus Khan hitting 106 off 223 balls. Mitchell Johnson did the bulk of the damage with an economical 3/22 off 20 overs on a slow and attritional day.
  On the second day, Pakistan slowly began to accelerate with Sarfraz Ahmed (109) scoring his second century in Tests at over a-run-a-ball. Australia's reply began well with David Warner reaching his fifty. They ended the day at a solid 113/0.
  Australia began their innings slowly on day three and struggled against Pakistan's inexperienced bowling attack, getting bowled out for 303, with debutant Yasir Shah (3/66) the pick of the bowlers while David Warner scored completed his century (133). The match was called off due to bad light at the end of the day with 2 overs remaining.
  Australian debutant Stephen O'Keefe took the early wicket of Azhar Ali (30) early on day 4. But Pakistan dominated and eventually declared their innings at 286/2. Australia's second innings began well, but the spinners took quick wickets to leave Australia in trouble at 59/4 at the end of day 4.
  Australia lost 3 wickets in the first session with Zulfiqar Babar doing most of the damage on day five. Australia managed to grind their way to the final session but succumbed to a 221 run defeat. He took his maiden five-wicket haul in the second Australian innings. Johnson (61) and Steve Smith (55) were Australia's top scorers. Khan's twin centuries in the match earned him the man of the match award.
