TOSS

Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat first against Australia.

PREVIEW

Pakistan takes on Australia in the second of a three-match Twenty20 International series in Lahore on Saturday, despite doubts over its participation in next month’s World Cup in cricket’s shortest format.

The country’s cricket chief, Mohsin Naqvi, will announce a final decision on taking part in the mega event either on Friday or Monday.

Pakistan is protesting over last week’s decision by the International Cricket Council (ICC), which rejected Bangladesh’s demand to relocate its matches out of India over security fears.

Bangladesh has been replaced by Scotland in the 20-team event, which runs from February 7 to March 8 with Sri Lanka as co-host.

However, despite the doubts, the Pakistan team has been preparing for the World Cup, with skipper Salman Agha stressing the importance of the Australia series.
