Australia vs Pakistan 2nd ODI Preview
AUS vs PAK Match Preview
After an eventful first ODI, Australia and Pakistan are ready for a faceoff in the second ODI of the 3-match series on Friday. Let’s look at Australia vs Pakistan 2nd ODI Preview.
The visiting side had a great run with the ball in the opening ODI but still ended the game as a losing team due to Australia’s skipper Pat Cummins steady show with the bat.
After posting 203 while batting first, Pakistan kept themselves alive in the match by removing seven batters on 155, and the eight one on 185. It was only Pat Cummins that once again displayed his capabilities as a batter and led his side to victory after a 31-ball 32*. Cummins also bagged two wickets with the ball.
With the seniors such as Cummins, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood set to miss third ODI due to BGT preparations, they will aim to secure the series for Australia in their presence in the second ODI itself.
