AUS vs PAK 2nd Test: Pakistan hope to force their way into the series after loss in the first
In an exhilarating contest, Australia and Pakistan are getting ready to face each other in the second Test match, scheduled to get underway on Boxing Day at the prestigious Melbourne Cricket Ground. Pakistan will enter the second game on the back of their defeat in the first match that they lost by huge 360 runs. Australia, meanwhile, took the lead by winning the first game in Perth. Ahead of the second Test, Pakistan suffered two blows in the form of pacer Khurram Shahzad and spinner Noman Ali who both were ruled out of the series due to their respective injuries. Spinner Abrar Ahmed, who has failed to make complete recovery from his knee injury, has been ruled out of the second Test. Australia have done fairly well at the MCG as they are totally familiar with the conditions and on top of that they have a full-strength lineup that is capable of giving a competitive fight to Pakistan. Pakistan, after the defeat in the first game, will hope to rectify their stategy and come out even much stronger against solid Australia. Australia will enter the Boxing Day Test with an unchanged squad that played the first Test in Perth. Pakistan, on the other hand, will need to make changes with Khurram Shahzad having been ruled out.
Australia XI: David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitch Marsh, Alex Carey (wk), Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins (c), Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood
