Pakistan are favorites to win
The second ODI in the three match series between Pakistan and Australia gets underway at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on Thursday afternoon. Australia won the opening fixture of the series on Tuesday by 88 runs. They posted 313-7 after being asked to bat first. Read on as we preview this day-night game. The match begins at 15:00 local time.
Pakistan looked to be on track for victory when they reached 120-1 at the start of the 25th over but a lack of middle and lower order runs was their downfall on Tuesday. However, they are a strong unit and will be competitive.
Australia had an inexperienced side on show in the opening ODI and exceeded expectations with a comfortable victory. They will have to produce another strong performance if they are to make it 2-0 in the series.
Sony Sports Network will broadcast the series in India with PTV showing it in Pakistan. Sky Cricket will show the game in the UK.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Sony LIV and SkyGo.
Pakistan won the toss and chose to field first on Tuesday. We predict that both captains will choose to insert the opposition if they win the toss in this match.
Although pace bowlers did pick up wickets, it was the spin bowlers who had the most success and found the pitch very responsive in the opening ODI. We expect more of the same from the surface in this game.
Sunny with the temperature at 35 degrees at the start of the game. It will still be in the high 20s at the end of the match.

Shaheen Shah Afridi missed the opening ODI on Tuesday after suffering a knee injury whilst batting in the nets ahead of the match. Although he is Pakistan’s best bowler, we expect he will not be risked in this game. Zahib Mahmood and Mohammad Wasim both made their ODI debuts in the first match.
Pakistan have lost their last four games in this format.
Fakhar Zaman, Imam ul-Haq, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Hassan Ali, Mohammad Wasim, Haris Rauf, Zahid Mahmood
Nathan Ellis and Mitchell Swepson both made their ODI debuts in Tuesday’s game. Already under-strength, Australia lost Mitchell Marsh through injury and Ashton Agar to illness ahead of the opening match. Both players are not expected to be available for selection in this game.
Australia have won three of their last four ODIs.
Aaron Finch (c), Travis Head, Alex Carey (wk), Marnus Labuschagne, Ben McDermott, Cameron Green, Sean Abbott, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Swepson, Nathan Ellis
Pakistan last beat Australia in an ODI in January 2017. Australia have won the last ten ODIs between the sides.

In spite of losing the opening game, Pakistan are again favourites to win this match.
Imam ul-Haq and Travis Head both hit centuries in Tuesday’s game with Babar Azam and Ben McDermott both contributing half-centuries.
Babar Azam, Imam ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman are our batting tips for Pakistan. Zaman, who averages 46.86, is the only player in Pakistan’s top three who does not average over 50.
Aaron Finch, Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne are our batting recommendations for Australia. Finch and Head put on 110 for the first wicket on Tuesday.
For Pakistan, Hasan Ali, Haris Rauf and Zahid Mahmood are our bowling tips. Mahmood dismissed Aaron Finch and Alex Carey on his debut on Tuesday.
For Australia, Adam Zampa, Sean Abbott and Mitchell Swepson are our bowling tips. Zampa now has 101 wickets from 65 ODIs.
After underdogs Australia won the opening game, this match now takes on added significance. Pakistan will need their pace bowling and middle-order batting to improve but Australia may struggle to maintain their high levels from Tuesday. We are predicting a victory for Pakistan.
