Australia Elects to Bat First in Bid to Seal T20 Series Against Pakistan
Australia, the reigning T20 World Champions, have opted to bat first in the second match of their three-match T20 series against Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). The hosts are looking to seal the series after a dominant victory in the opening match in Brisbane.
Australia's captain, Josh Inglis, expressed confidence in the wicket, stating that it appeared conducive to a high-scoring encounter. The hosts have retained the same lineup that secured their triumph in the first match.
Pakistan, on the other hand, have made one change to their team. Haseebullah, a powerful hitter, has been replaced by left-arm wrist spinner Sufiyan Muqeem. Muqeem has limited international experience, having played only three T20Is for Pakistan's second-string side at the Asian Games in 2022.
