Australia will lock horns with Pakistan in the second T20I of the three-match series at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Australia are high on confidence after a dominant win in the first game and will be eager to seal the series with another team performance.
Their batting line-up led by key players was in excellent form and their bowlers showed their mettle by effectively restricting Pakistan in the opening match. The home side will look to carry that momentum forward and prevent any slippage on their home turf.
The second T20I is a do-or-die affair for Pakistan. After falling short in the series opener, they are in a precarious position needing a win to stay alive in the competition. The visitors will look to their experienced players to step up and deliver under pressure.

Sydney Cricket Ground Report:
The Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) is known for its balanced pitch that provides opportunities for both batsmen and bowlers. The surface usually offers even bounce, making it a suitable wicket for early batsmen, but it also lends some help to spinners as the game progresses, especially in the latter stages.
In T20 matches, the SCG pitch favors the batting game, the ball comes to the bat nicely and allows the batsmen to play a variety of shots. However, the key to success on this pitch is to play the spinners well as the ball can spin and catch as the match progresses, especially during the middle overs.
