After winning the toss, Australia opted to bat in the second T20I of three-match series against Pakistan in Sydney on Saturday.

Australia lead the T20I series 1-0.

In a rain-hit T20I series opener, a dominant Australia secured victory by 29 runs after the bowlers sparked a Pakistan batting collapse at The Gabba on Thursday.

The Men in Green only managed to score 64/9 in pursuit of a daunting 94-run target in seven overs.

Pakistan and Australia have competed 26 times in T20Is with the former having slightly better record, winning 13 fixtures, compared to the latter’s 12, while one match ended in no result.

Total matches 26: Pakistan 13, Australia 12, No Result 1.

The last five matches have continuously been won by Australia though.
