Pakistan will look to seal the T20I series against Australia when they face off in the second match of the three-match series at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore today. Pakistan skipper Salman Agha has won the toss and elected to bat first on the night.. After their thrilling 22-run victory in the opener, Pakistan will be eager to extend their lead and clinch the series.
In the first T20I, Pakistan posted a total of 168/8, with Saim Ayub’s all-round brilliance stealing the show. He not only contributed with the bat but also impressed with the ball, showcasing his growing reputation. Adam Zampa’s four-wicket haul restricted Pakistan’s progress, but it was still an imposing total for Australia to chase.
Australia, in reply, got off to a solid start, reaching 57/2 in the powerplay, but the spin-heavy attack of Pakistan, led by Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, and debutant Abrar Ahmed, stifled their chase. Despite some resistance from Mitchell Marsh and others, Australia’s chase fell short, as the spinners took charge and wrapped up the innings, giving Pakistan a much-needed win.
With the series at stake, both teams are expected to bring their A-game to this crucial encounter.
