Pakistan will look to seal the three-match ODI series against Australia when the two teams meet in the second game in Lahore on Tuesday. The hosts began the series in style after registering a comprehensive five-wicket win in the opener in Rawalpindi. Arafat Minhas had a memorable debut for the Green Shirts, returning with a fifer to help Pakistan bowl out Australia for just 200 inside 45 overs.
Babar Azam and Ghazi Ghori then returned with knocks of 69 and 65 respectively to help Pakistan overhaul the target with five wickets in hand and 45 balls to spare. The two batters put on a 127-run stand, and this partnership was the main reason Pakistan didn’t break a sweat while chasing the total.
However, it is important to state that Australia have not sent their full-strength squad for the series against Pakistan as the likes of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood have all been rested.
Of late, Pakistan have had the wood over Australia, winning their last two bilateral ODI series by 2-1. The visitors have everything to play for in the second ODI. A defeat would mark the third straight series loss to Pakistan in the 50-over format.
Squads:
Pakistan: Sahibzada Farhan, Maaz Sadaqat, Babar Azam, Ghazi Ghori(w), Arafat Minhas, Salman Agha, Abdul Samad, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi(c), Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed, Rohail Nazir, Naseem Shah, Ahmed Daniyal, Sufyan Moqim, Shamyl Hussain.
Australia: Alex Carey, Matthew Short, Josh Inglis(w/c), Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green, Matt Renshaw, Oliver Peake, Matthew Kuhnemann, Nathan Ellis, Tanveer Sangha, Billy Stanlake, Riley Meredith, Liam Scott, Adam Zampa.
