Predicting Pakistan’s Playing XI for their 2nd T20I against Australia

In the opening match of the three-match T20I series, Australia crushed Pakistan. After the weather ruined the game, it ended up being a 7-over match. After leading the home team to victory in the opening match, Glenn Maxwell got back to his best. These two sides will play each other in the second Twenty20 International on Saturday, November 16, at Sydney Cricket Ground.

With the momentum, Australia will try to win the series in the upcoming match. Pakistan’s batsmen were unsure and unable to modify the bounce, therefore they needed to do a lot of work. The side from Pakistan will be keen to win the second Twenty20 encounter in order to tie the series. In the first T20I game, Australia outperformed  Pakistan as Pakistan played poorly in the game. The batting order collapsed in the first game. Going to the 2nd T20I Pakistan will look not to make the same mistake in the game. After a lengthy break, Pakistan won the ODI series played on this visit in Australia.

Top Order:

Pakistan will keep the same opening batter for the must-win game against Australia. Mohammad Rizwan the captain of the side will open the innings with Sahibzada Farhan. While Babar Azam will come down the order to give support to the opening pair. However, during the last game, the top order failed against the bowling attack to score runs.

Middle Order:

Salman Ali Agha, the vice-captain, and Usman Khan will add strength to Pakistan’s batting attack. In the lower-middle or lower-middle order, hard-hitter Irfan Khan will provide assistance for the pair.

Lower-Middle Order:

Pakistan’s main all-around player will be Salman Ali Agha, the vice captain. However, if necessary, players like Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah may also use the bat to score important runs. In first game batting collapsed as Pakistan scored 64 runs.

Lower Order:

Their team’s front-line pacers in the second Twenty20 International match against Australia will be Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Shaheen Shah Afridi. Abbas Afridi is going to help the pace trio. In the area of spin, Agha Salman might offer vital over.
