The second one-day international cricket match is between AUS and PAK, where Australia aims for a victory in the series following a stunning win in the first ODI by 2 wickets. As captain of the home team, Pat Cummins proved determined and willing to claim a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Now focus will be on Adelaide Oval Stadium, where two teams will be set to fight for dominance in the second one-day international. This is because AUS and PAK only schedule three one-day internationals, so each match is significant. The home team will look forward to continuing with the same form they had in the previous match, while the visitors will be looking to come from a closely contested defeat.
We can anticipate a fierce battle where both teams will employ various strategies to prevail. The first one-day international match proved how strong and viable an Australian cricket team is. But Pakistan will be more keen to even up the series by capitalizing on any weakness. Now the contest is tense and we wait for what will happen next and how the team will perform in Adelaide Oval Stadium.

Pakistan vs Australia Pitch Report:
Early on with the new ball, the fast bowlers may be able to detect some seam movement on the Adelaide Oval surface. But typically, the bowlers don’t receive spongy bounce here. Therefore, the batters can take advantage of the favourable batting conditions to score runs once the new ball spell is over.
