The second ODI between Australia and Pakistan will take place at Adelaide Oval on Friday, November 8 at 9:00 AM IST, with Australia leading 1-0. Australia has a chance to win the series in this match that might decide Pakistan’s fate. Despite Pakistan’s short comeback, the hosts dominated the first ODI in Melbourne, winning by two wickets.
Pakistan took three quick wickets to almost ruin Australia’s victory, but Pat Cummins’ vital intervention kept it intact. Due to the visitors’ expensive bowling errors, Australia took a 1-0 series lead.
Senior Australian players will make their final appearance in this match before leaving to get ready for the Border-Gavaskar series against India. Australia is anticipated to field the same winning combination with no changes to the lineup.
The team’s only goal is to win the series, and captain Pat Cummins has faith in them. In addition to ending the series, a victory would lower Pakistan’s spirits. To remain in the series, the visitors need to give it their all.
Head-To-Head Records:
In 109 ODI matches, Australia and Pakistan have faced one another. Australia is the winner of 71 of these 109 games, while Pakistan has won 34 of them. Three games finished in a draw. One match finished in a draw.
Who will win the match?

Pakistan stands no chance against Australia as they are favorites for the second ODI due to the rolling form and the home ground advantage. After clinching the first game by a thrilling two-wicket margin, the hosts will aim for the series win. They are favorites due to the mighty line-up of batsmen such as Steven Smith and Maru Labuschenge, apart from newcomer Pat Comin’s bowling and captaincy.
However, one cannot underestimate a country like Pakistan. I believe they are still capable of staging a comeback, more so given their strength that involves Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam. But all in all, Australia may have an upper hand because they have more or less an equal balanced side and they are more acquainted with this ground, which is the Adelaide Oval. It is forecast that Australia will triumph.
