The 2nd ODI match of Australia’s tour of Pakistan 2026 will see Pakistan take on Australia on Tuesday, June 2, at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. The match is scheduled to begin at 4:30 PM local time (11:30 AM GMT / 5:30 PM Bangladesh time).

Pakistan enter this match with a strong and balanced squad. Their batting lineup includes Babar Azam, Salman Ali Agha, Sahibzada Farhan, Abdul Samad, Maaz Sadaqat, Shamil Hussain, Muhammad Ghazi Ghori, and Rohail Nazir. With Babar Azam and Salman Ali Agha, Pakistan have stability, experience, and solid middle-order support.

Pakistan’s all-round department also gives them useful depth. Shadab Khan, Salman Ali Agha, Arafat Minhas, Maaz Sadaqat, and Sufian Mukim can contribute in both batting and bowling. Shadab can be important in the middle overs, while Salman Ali Agha gives Pakistan control and batting flexibility.

Pakistan’s bowling attack has pace, spin, and wicket-taking options. Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Abrar Ahmed, Ahmed Daniel, Sufian Mukim, and Arafat Minhas give Pakistan variety. Shaheen can be dangerous with the new ball, while Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah can create pressure with pace. Abrar Ahmed may be important if the pitch supports spin.

Australia come into this match with a competitive and flexible squad. Their batting lineup includes Josh Inglis, Alex Carey, Marnus Labuschagne, Matt Short, Cameron Green, Matt Renshaw, Scott Cooper, and Cooper Connolly. With Labuschagne, Inglis, Carey, and Green, Australia have experience, batting depth, and the ability to build strong partnerships.

Australia’s all-round department also looks useful. Cameron Green, Matt Short, Cooper Connolly, and Scott Cooper can provide balance in both departments. Green can be key with his power hitting and medium pace, while Short and Connolly can add useful overs if needed.

Australia’s bowling attack has pace and spin options. Adam Zampa, Nathan Ellis, Billy Stanlake, Tanveer Sangha, Matthew Kuhnemann, Riley Meredith, Oliver Peake, and Cooper Connolly give Australia variety. Zampa can be important in the middle overs, while Ellis, Meredith, and Stanlake can test Pakistan’s batters with pace and bounce.

The Gaddafi Stadium pitch in Lahore usually offers good batting conditions, especially under lights. Batters can score freely once they settle in, but fast bowlers may get some help early with the new ball. Spinners can also play a role in the middle overs. A score of around 280-310 can be competitive at this venue.

Expert Prediction: Pakistan have 52% chance and Australia have 48% winning chance.
