AUS vs PAK Dream11 Prediction: Pakistan will face Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney in the 2nd T20I of the series. The match is scheduled to be played on 16th November 2024 at 01:30 PM IST. Australia won the rain-reduced 1st T20I by 29 runs, which is a massive considering the match was shortened to 7 overs per team. Australia batted first and scored 93 for 4. Glenn Maxwell, batting at No.3, attacked the Pakistan bowlers with ease, scoring 43 runs. Marcus Stoinis added a quick 21 runs at a strike rate of 300. Xavier Bartlett and Nathan Ellis picked up 3 wickets each to restrict Pakistan at 64 for 9. Pakistan seemed woefully under-prepared for the fast-paced game. Their decision to send Australia to bat first wasn't the right choice, as their chase went terribly wrong with 5 wickets falling for a meagre 16 runs. Late scrimps from Haseebullah (12), Abbas Afridi (20), and Shaheen Afridi (11) prevented them from suffering a worse defeat than this. Pakistan wait continues for the first T20I victory in the land of Australia. Australia vs Pakistan - Pitch Report The SCG hosted a T20I after 2 years.
