Australia have won an important toss at the iconic SCG and have decided to bat first on what looks like a pretty good batting deck. Aussies are going unchanged after they won the first game while Pakistan have brought in young spinner Sufiyan Muqeem in place of Haseebullah. The first T20I was a curtailed one with rain allowing only seven-over-per-side game and Australia emerged victorious by 29 runs.

Australia Playing XI : Matthew Short, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, Josh Inglis (c), Aaron Hardie, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson

AUS vs PAK: Toss Update

Pakistan would be hoping that their bowlers get it right in this game after being hammered all over the park by Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis. Their batting though is their biggest worry, they need the top order to fire if they want to overcome the might of the Aussies. In the Australian camp, Jake Fraser-McGurk would be in focus as he has not scored runs in the four games against Pakistan so far. He is a power-hitter and his battle with Pakistan pacers in the Powerplay would be an interesting one. Let's see how things pan out.
