Australia are dire straits in Lahore. After losing Mitchell Marsh, Australia lost Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Matt Renshaw and Cooper Connolly within a space of 30 balls, leaving the home side in the driver's seat. Expectedly, all the five wickets were taken by Pakistan spinners Abrar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz and Saim Ayub. What a show it has been so far by Pakistan.

Its a repeatation of what happened in the first game. After Sahibzada Farhan was dismissed Saim Ayub and Salman Ali Agha revive the Pakistan innings with a 50-run stand for the second wicket.

Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub open the batting for Pakistan. Xavier Bartlett will open the attack for Australia. Two fours to start the game for Pakistan in the first over. PAK 13-0 (1)

Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha wins the toss and opts to bat first. Meanwhile, it must be noted that Mohammad Wasim Jnr has been released from the squad after the first game. He will play no further part in this series. For Australia, captain Mitchell Marsh returns to the playing XI after missing the first game.

Usually a opener in T20Is, Babar Azam will not open the innings in the T20 World Cup 2026, which was confirmed by PCB selector Aaqib Javed. That means Pakistan will take the batting lineup against Australia to the T20 World Cup as well. Babar, who opened the innings in BBL recently, will play a role in the middle order for the national team. In BBL, Babar scored 202 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 103.06. It was the lowest strike rate for any player in BBL history who has scored over 200 runs.

Australia suffered a major blow today after Pat Cummins was ruled out of the T20 World Cup 2026. Cummins had missed the Pakistan series due to a lingering back injury, that he is yet to recover from. Left-arm pacer Ben Dwarshuis has been named as a replacement for Cummins. Matthew Renshaw, who made his T20I debut in Pakistan, has been named in the 15-member squad. Notably, Matthew Short has been left out.

Australia: Mitchell Marsh (c), Xavier Bartlett, Cooper Connolly, Tim David, Ben Dwarshuis, Cameron Green, Nathan Ellis, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Matthew Kuhnemann, Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Renshaw, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa

Regular captain Mitchell Marsh was unavailable for the first game due to jetlag, having arrived just 48 hours ago. He is expectedly to be included in the playing XI. Travis Head led side in place of Marsh.

Australia displayed a shoddy show of themselves in the first game. With a few new faces in the squad, the Australian were not up to the mark on a pitch that turned slow as the game progressed. In reply to Pakistan's 168/8, Australia could manage only 146/8, thereby losing the game by 22 runs.

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the second T20I between Pakistan and Australia in Lahore.
