Mohammad Rizwan calls incorrectly and Josh Inglis is happy to bat first, as Australia did in the first T20.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the second T20 international between Australia and Pakistan in Sydney. The Brisbane weather turned the first game turned into a Seven7, won handsomely by Australia, but happily today’s forecast is much better so we should get a full game. Another win would give Australia the series with a match to spare.

The first T20I was notable for Glenn Maxwell’s hitting and a devastating new-ball burst from Xavier Bartlett (3 for 12) and Nathan Ellis (3 for 9). Bartlett has made an eye-catching start to his international career, taking 17 wickets at 9.23 across both white-ball codes. Australia will soon need a new pace attack across all three formats; Bartlett, Ellis and Spencer Johnson will be hoping to impress again tonight.

The match starts at 7pm AEDT.
