Australia v Pakistan - Australia tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 – 2nd T20I- Toss Report
In the second match of the three-match T20 series between Pakistan and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 have won the toss and elected to bat first at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
After having lost the opening match, Australia need to win this game in order to level the series and avoid a series defeat.
Meanwhile, Pakistan would be aiming to continue their winning streak today. The Greens have decided not to temper with their winning unit and are going into the game with the same squad that hammered Australia their heaviest defeat in T20Is on Wednesday, September 05.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482 will not be featuring today as he has not recovered from the hand injury he received in the ODI finale.
Pitch Report:
It is the same pitch which was used in the first match with lots of cracks and some grass on it. Spinners will again have a great time, but the batsmen could also show their mettle if they get their eye in. Dew will be a factor later in the evening, making bowling a tad difficult for the side fielding second.
Captain’s comments:
Pakistan:
Mohammad Hafeez: We will bat first. The pitch looks a bit different and we want to put some runs on the board. We have an unchanged team. The bowling unit is performing well. 140 plus is a good score on this track.
Australia:
Bailey: This pitch will not change much. We have made three changes. The batting line-up remains the same. Mitchell Starc, Dan Christian and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758. A win will be the perfect birthday gift.
