Despite losing the first ODI, Pakistan are going with the same team. Pat Cummins-led Australia have made one change. Josh Hazlewood replaced Sean Abbott in the playing XI. Hazlewood may not be available for the next ODI, hence this decision.
Pat Cummins: We would have done the same, but it's always a good wicket here. Sean Abbott drops out and Josh Hazlewood comes in. Always a good wicket here and a beautiful stadium, one of my favorites. We could have been clinical in that chase, good training sessions and boys are good to go.
Mohammad Rizwan: We are going to bowl first. The pitch is good but we feel there's something inside. Same squad. Both sides played very well in the first game.
Pakistan snapped up the wicket of Jake Fraser-McGurk for 13 (10 balls) as Shaheen Shah Afridi trapped the young batter LBW in Adelaide. The right-hander decided against the DRS and walked back, as the visitors took their 1st wicket of the day.
AUS: 26/1 (4 Overs)
Shaheen Shah Afridi has missed a simple catch, and to make matters worse, the ball rolls away to the boundary for four runs. Matt Short targeted the only fielder stationed deep on the leg side, yet Shaheen let a straightforward catch slip through his fingers.
Afridi didn’t let it slide and strikes again as Matthew Short’s direct shot lands safely in Babar Azam’s hands at cover point.
AUS: 41/2 (6 Overs)
Another Shah on the hunt for wickets, this time, it’s Naseem working his magic. He keeps Josh Inglis tied down to singles, but Inglis finally breaks through with a boundary.
AUS: 59/2 (10 Overs)
Steve Smith, Josh Inglis are at the crease and have started the rebuilding work for the hosts after losing the opening batters. AUS must string a decent partnership to give PAK a headache in the field.
AUS: 78/2 (13 Overs)

AUS: 88/4 (16 Overs)
Australia are in all sorts of trouble in Adelaide with Mohammad Hasnain sending back the in-form Steve Smith for 35 as Pakistan keep chipping away. The hosts are five down at The Oval and few more wickets here, could spell doom for the Aussies. Rizwan has been brilliant with his captaincy.
AUS: 101/5 (21 Overs)
Aaron Hardie and Glenn Maxwell are at the crease and will look to recuperate the AUS innings after the early blitz from the PAK bowlers. Maxwell and Hardie are two good strikers of the ball and an on-slaugth here could derail PAK's momentum.
AUS: 120/5 (25 Overs)
On-air commentator Adam Gilchrist calls him 'Wrecked Rauf' and the Pakistan bowler has wrecked Australian innings at The Adelaide Oval on this Friday morning. Three wickets and counting as Australia lost their sixth wicket. Huge breakthrough for the visitors.

Haris Rauf has taken his fifth wicket of the match as Pakistan scalped the ninth wicket of the game against Australia in the 2nd ODI in Adelaide on Friday. Pat Cummins was looking dangerous at the crease but Rauf made sure the former made no more damage as Rizwan took the sixth catch of the game.
AUS: 146/9 (32 Overs)
What a performance by the Pakistan bowlers! Australia have been bowled out for 163 with Haris Rauf being the pick of the bowlers with a spell of 8 overs, 5/29. Shaheen Shah Afridi picked three.
AUS: 163 All Out
Abdullah Shafique, Saim Ayub have begun their run-chase of 163 against Australia at the Adelaide Oval. The Pakistan batters will be eager to chase this low total down despite dicey conditions.

PAK: 112/0 (17 Overs), AUS: 163 All Out
What a century it will be for Saim Ayub, if he gets there. Pakistan require 27 for victory and this will be a magnanimous one, to level the series. Ayub has looked superb at the crease along with Abdullah Shafique as they have dominated the reigning ODI champions in their own backyard.

Rizwan: Hopefully we keep this confidence going forward to Perth. A win is a win. We decided to bowl after winning the toss. Our bowlers bowled well and we found success. Everyone is enjoying his (Haris Rauf's) bowling. Not only fans from Pakistan, but also from all around the world, everyone enjoys to watch him bowl.
Pat Cummins: Wasn't one of our best days. We were worst today. They bowled well, but we should have batted better. There was a bit seam around there. I will leave it to him (Inglis), he has some experience. So let him be him. We have a week at home. Good training sessions needed, mind now switches to the red ball (for the upcoming Test series vs India).
