Pakistan (PAK) had a rough start to the T20I series after winning the ODI series 2-1. In the inaugural Twenty20 International at the Gabba in Brisbane, Australia (AUS) outperformed them in every aspect. In the second Twenty20 International in Sydney on November 16, they hope to rally and tie the series.
Rain forced the opening game to be shortened to seven overs for each side. As Australia set a target of 94 runs, Pakistan’s batting faltered. However, the batters were unable to cross the boundary, and Australia captured seven of them in the act. However, a victory in Sydney would give the hosts a chance to win the series.

Pakistan vs. Australia Pitch Report:
The batsmen will have a harder time at the Sydney Cricket Ground since there won’t be as much bounce and pace for them to use. The pacers will be worried about this as well, but they can use it to slow down the ball. There is a 40% probability of rain throughout the game, according to the weather prediction.
