Pakistan will be looking to return to winning ways when they face Australia in the second T20I of the ongoing three-match series. The second AUS vs PAK T20I will be played on Saturday (November 16) at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney.
Pakistan are currently trailing the series after suffering a crushing 29-run loss in the 1st AUS vs PAK T20I. The first T20I was reduced to 7 overs per side due to persistent rain and wet outfield. Batting first, Australia scored 93/4 with Glenn Maxwell smashing 43 from 19 balls.
In reply, Pakistan were reeling at 16/5 at one stage and eventually finished their innings on 64/9. As the tourists look to bounce back, we are taking a look at the head-to-head record between the two teams in T20Is.
