The second ODI between Australia and Pakistan will be held at Adelaide Oval on November 8. With Australia leading the three-match series 1-0, they aim to secure the series after a thrilling win in the first ODI at Melbourne’s MCG. Australia chased down 204 runs with just two wickets in hand, thanks to Pat Cummins’ resilience after a batting collapse. Now, both teams head to Adelaide, where pitch conditions are expected to differ.

Pakistan’s batting lineup struggled in the first ODI, reaching only 204 after finding themselves at 117/6. A late cameo from Naseem Shah, who scored 40 runs, helped them cross the 200-mark. On the bowling front, Haris Rauf led the attack with well-aimed short deliveries, putting Australia under pressure. Despite reducing Australia to 155/7, Pakistan couldn’t secure a win as Cummins held his ground.

In this must-win game, Pakistan will look to strengthen their batting performance, while their strong bowling unit will aim to keep Australia in check.
