Pakistan vs Australia 2nd ODI Live Commentary | IPL Champions RCB is Roaring

Pakistan is taking on Australia in the 2nd ODI of 3 match series right now at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore. Pakistan is eyeing to win the series today and seal the deal before a game even. After showing a great form recently, Babar Azam is again the impact player of Pakistan again. Captain Shaheen Afridi, Sahibzada Farhan, Maaz Sadaqat, Shadab Khan, and Haris Rauf have also a great role to play. Today is the battle of victory and comeback between the Green Shirts and Aussies. Pakistan have a 1-0 lead after a dominant display in Rawalpindi. They restricted Australia to 200 all out and then knocked off the runs with five wickets and more than seven overs to spare. Spin was key. Arafat Minhas took five wickets, Abrar Ahmed two and Salman Agha one. The blueprint for success is clear and that may inform selection again with a winning team unlikely to be changed. There is potential for Naseem Shah to replace spinner Shadab Khan, though, if Pakistan feel the pitch will aid pacers. Shadab came back into the side after a three-year absence and would have been bitterly disappointed at retuning no wickets for 54 off eight. It was rather exposing so it will be interesting to see how much patience he is afforded. Probable Playing XI of Pakistan: Farhan, Sadaqat, Babar, Ghouri, Salman, Minhas, Samad, Shadab, Afridi, Rauf, Abrar Australia have picked a reserve team for this series and they were forced to double down on the experimental feel by leaving out their best bowler, Adam Zampa, who had a neck issue. How they could have done with Zampa in Rawalpindi. Instead they went with Tanveer Sangha. He was tidy with one for 31 but Zampa's guile in such a small chase would have been beneficial. More changes are expected. If Zampa is fit he should come in for Tanveer. Matt Kuhnemann should retain his position after bowling nicely. Cooper Connolly should also now be available after arriving later than the rest of the squad post IPL. Oliver Peake, the 19-year-old who debuted at No 7, may miss out. Riley Meredith might get in ahead of the expensive Billy Stanlake as Australia look to rotate pace options, Possible Playing XI of Australia: Short, Carey, Inglis, Labuschagne, Green, Connolly, Renshaw, Kuhnemann, Ellis, Zampa, Meredith, On the other hand, Virat Kohli led RCB to win their 2nd consecutive title in IPL. With back to back trophies, Royal Challengers Bangalore have started a new era of their dominance.
