Australian captain Josh Inglis won the toss and elected to bat in the second match of the three-match T20 series against Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday.

The hosts led 1-0 after winning a rain-affected match in Brisbane on Thursday, reduced to seven overs per side, by 29 runs.

Australia are again without a number of top players – as they prepare for the Test series against India starting next week – and have named an unchanged squad.

Pakistan, who won the previous one-day series 2-1, made one change, with wrist spinner Sufiyan Muqeem replacing Haseebullah Khan
