Pakistan wins toss, opts to bat in 2nd test vs Australia
Pakistan cricketer.
Abu Dhabi - Arab Today
Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed has won the toss and elected to bat in the second test of a series that is up for grabs after Australia's fourth-innings comeback in the opening match.
Pakistan made two changes, giving top-order batsman Fakhar Zaman and left-arm seamer Mir Hamza test debuts as replacements for Imam-ul-Haq and Wahab Riaz.
Australia retained the same XI that salvaged an expected draw in Dubai by batting for almost 140 overs and finishing at 362-8 in the fourth innings after being set a victory target of 462 on a seemingly deteriorating wicket expected to assist spin.
After posting 482, Pakistan bowled Australia out for 202 in the first innings — taking 10-60 after the visitors made a promising start — and then declared in the second innings at 181-6 in order to have 1 ½ days to push for victory.
Opener Usman Khawaja scored 141 for Australia, sharing valuable partnerships with Aaron Finch (49), Travis Head (72) and captain Tim Paine (61 not out) to force the draw.
