Australia Win Toss, Bat In 2nd T20I Against Pakistan

Australia captain Josh Inglis won the toss and chose to bat Saturday in the second game of the three-match T20 series against Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The hosts lead 1-0 after winning a rain-hit match reduced to seven overs a side in Brisbane on Thursday by 29 runs.

Australia are again without several top players -- who are preparing for the Test series against India which begins next week -- and named an unchanged side.

Pakistan, who won the preceding one-day series 2-1, made one change, with wrist spinner Sufiyan Muqeem replacing Haseebullah Khan
