What Have The Two Teams Done Recently?
Australia
After getting knocked out of the T20 World Cup in the Super Eight round at the hands of Afghanistan and India, Australia had featured in five T20I games spread across two series.
They crushed Scotland 3-0 in the first and made it four in a row when they overcame England in the opening game of their series.
England came back to win the second game of that series in Cardiff before the third match was washed out, leaving it tied at 1-1.
In a rain-affected first game of this series, Australia eased to an easy victory over Pakistan to make it an overall T20I win-loss record of 110-85 since they started playing this format.
Pakistan
Coming into this series, Pakistan hadn’t played T20I cricket since their shock exit at the T20 World Cup. They were beaten by USA in their opener in that tournament, losing in the Super Over before failing to chase down a sub-par 119 against India.
While they defeated Canada and Ireland in the ensuing two matches, it wasn’t enough for them to make it through to the Super Eights after that.
And that lack of T20 cricket seemed to show in their opener when their bowlers were hammered in a seven-overs-a-side contest and they fell short of the target by 29 runs.
Overall, Pakistan is 142-93 on win-loss in this format following the loss in the first game.

Australia vs Pakistan 2nd T20I Preview & Predictions with Latest Odds*
It was an interesting looking Pakistan side that took to field for the opener. The usual suspects were all there in the batting and bowling but also included were Sahibzada Farhan, Usman Khan, Irfan Khan and Hasebullah Khan – all relatively inexperienced at the highest level.
Their presence didn’t help the side too much as they fell to 24 for six in the fourth over to the bowling of Spencer Johnson, Xavier Barlett and Nathan Ellis. Adam Zampa chipped in with two in two towards the end to bring Australia home.
Earlier, it was the old warhorse Glenn Maxwell who clicked rather well for the hosts, smashing his way to a 19-ball 43. Marcus Stoinis chipped in with a 21 from seven balls, leaving Pakistan with too much to chase.
The two sides will hope for a complete match come the second game and it might suit Pakistan a little more given the strength of their bowling. They have also had the experience of coming back from being 0-1 down in the ODIs to win that series.
