The second ODI of the Pakistan vs Australia ODI Series 2026 will be played in Lahore as Pakistan aim to seal the three-match series after a dominant win in the opening encounter. The match is scheduled to take place at Gaddafi Stadium, where the hosts will enter with momentum following a convincing five-wicket victory in Rawalpindi.

Pakistan began the series in strong fashion, bowling out Australia for just 200 runs, with debutant Arafat Minhas delivering a standout five-wicket haul. In response, experienced batter Babar Azam and Ghazi Ghori anchored the chase with composed half-centuries, stitching together a 127-run partnership that guided Pakistan to a comfortable win.

Australia, meanwhile, are under pressure going into the second ODI as they are missing several first-choice players, including Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood, who have been rested for the series. The visitors will need a strong collective performance to avoid conceding the series with one match still remaining.

The contrast between Pakistan’s settled unit and Australia’s experimental lineup has added further intrigue to the contest.

The second ODI is scheduled to begin at 5:00 PM IST on Tuesday, June 2, with the toss set for 4:30 PM IST.
