Pakistan can SEAL the series TODAY after a DOMINANT 1st ODI win as they host Australia in the 2nd ODI at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on Tuesday, June 2 at 4:30 PM IST. Pakistan WON the 1st ODI by 5 wkts (chased 201 with 45 balls remaining). The STAR was Arafat Minhas: 5/32 on DEBUT + 18* batting = POTM (left-arm orthodox, dismissed 4 of AUS top-5!). 8 wkts fell to SPIN in Rawalpindi. 

Babar 69(94) + Ghazi Ghori 65(92) chased comfortably. AUS: Short 55(76) + Renshaw 61(63) rescued from 4/68 but 200 was NEVER enough. AUS are WITHOUT Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood, Head (resting/IPL). Gaddafi Stadium is FRIENDLIER for batting (AUS chased 352 HERE vs ENG in Champions Trophy 2025, Inglis 120*(86)!). PAK won last 5 ODIs at Gaddafi + last 3 vs AUS. PAK 65% favourites.

Pitch Report

DetailsInformation
VenueGaddafi Stadium, Lahore, Pakistan.
Pitch TypeFRIENDLIER for batting than Rawalpindi. FLATTER deck. AUS chased 352 HERE vs ENG (Champions Trophy 2025). PAK chased 349 HERE vs AUS (2022). HIGH-SCORING possible (280-320 range). Spin STILL effective middle overs (Pakistani surfaces) but less GRIP than Rawalpindi. True bounce. Good carry.
Average 1st Innings Score265-285 at Gaddafi (recent ODIs). 270+ competitive. 300+ dominant. Below 230 risky. SIGNIFICANTLY higher than Rawalpindi (1st ODI was 200).
Pace vs SpinPACE more effective HERE than Rawalpindi (Shaheen 150+ + Naseem 145+ + Haris Rauf for PAK; Ellis 2/45 + Stanlake/Meredith for AUS). SPIN still important middle overs (Minhas 5/32 + Abrar 2/38 + Shadab for PAK; Zampa 15 wkts in 8 recent + Kuhnemann for AUS). Lahore = BALANCED (pace + spin BOTH effective).
Toss FactorBAT FIRST preferred at Gaddafi (DAY/NIGHT = batting easier early, dew later helps chasing too). Both approaches viable. DAY/NIGHT = dew from 7 PM onwards.
Dew FactorSIGNIFICANT dew from evening onwards. Bowling 2nd innings = ball slippery. Chasing marginally preferred in DAY/NIGHT ODIs at Lahore.

PAK vs AUS 2nd ODI Toss Prediction

The toss winner may bat first (DAY/NIGHT Lahore, batting easier in afternoon, dew helps chasing later = BOTH teams want to bat first). PAK batted 2nd in 1st ODI and chased comfortably.

If Shaheen Afridi (PAK) wins, he may field first (SAME template as 1st ODI where PAK chased with 45 balls remaining). Deploy Shaheen + Naseem + Haris pace powerplay. Then Minhas (5/32) + Abrar (2/38) + Shadab spin middle overs. Restrict AUS below 250 (AUS scored 200 in 1st ODI but Gaddafi is FLATTER = 240-260 expected). Then Babar (69 1st ODI) + Ghori (65) + Farhan chase.

If Josh Inglis (AUS) wins, he may bat first. Inglis scored 120*(86) HERE vs ENG in Champions Trophy 2025 = he KNOWS this venue. Open with Short (55) + Renshaw (61). Build on FLATTER surface. Post 280+ (achievable HERE). Then Zampa (15 wkts in 8 recent) + Kuhnemann + Ellis defend. AUS NEED to bat first and post 280+ because their bowling CAN’T defend 200 (proved in 1st ODI).

Injury Updates

Pakistan: UNCHANGED XI expected after DOMINANT 1st ODI win.  

Australia:Missing Cummins+Starc+Hazlewood+Head. May CHANGE XI after 1st ODI collapse.
