Pakistan face Australia in the 2nd T20I at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, leading the series 1-0. Pakistan’s spinners dominated the first match as Australia struggled badly against spin bowling on a slow pitch.
The key question remains – can Australia’s batters adapt better to these spin-friendly conditions? The Lahore pitch will likely stay slow, making scoring tough. A total around 170 should be competitive, with the team batting first having an advantage.
The AUS vs PAK today match prediction favors Pakistan due to their home advantage and strong spin attack. They understand these conditions much better than the visitors.
For your PAK vs AUS Dream11 team today, pick top-order batsmen for early runs and include 3-4 quality spinners who’ll take wickets. Add all-rounders to balance your squad.
This AUS vs PAK Dream11 prediction suggests choosing Pakistan’s key spinners and in-form batters as captain and vice-captain for best results.
