Australia vs Pakistan 2nd ODI: Live Streaming, Match Time, and Team News

Australia and Pakistan are set to face off in the second One-Day International (ODI) of their three-match series on Friday, November 8, at the Adelaide Oval. Australia currently leads the series 1-0 after a thrilling two-wicket victory in the first ODI at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)[2][4].

In the first match, Australia managed to chase down a modest total of 203 set by Pakistan, thanks to a crucial innings from captain Pat Cummins. Cummins, who played his first ODI since the World Cup last year, picked up two wickets and then scored 32 off 31 balls to secure the win. Mitchell Starc was named the Player of the Match for his economical three-wicket haul (3 for 33 in 10 overs)[3][4][5].

For the second ODI, Australia is likely to field a strong lineup similar to the first match, with Mitchell Starc, Sean Abbott (or possibly Josh Hazlewood), and Pat Cummins leading the pace attack. The batting lineup is expected to include Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis, and Glenn Maxwell[2][4][6].

Pakistan, under the new leadership of Mohammad Rizwan, will be looking to level the series. Despite a strong bowling performance in the first ODI, particularly from Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi, Pakistan’s batting lineup struggled to post a competitive total. For the second ODI, Pakistan might consider adding a specialist spinner to their lineup, with Faisal Akram and Arafat Minhas being potential inclusions[2][4][5].

The match is scheduled to start at 2:30 PM local time (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) at the Adelaide Oval. In Australia, the match will be broadcast live on Foxtel and can be streamed on Kayo. For Indian viewers, the match will be telecast on the Star Sports Network and streamed on the Disney+ Hotstar app and website[2][4][6].

Both teams are eager to put on a better batting display after a low-scoring first match. The second ODI promises to be another intense and closely contested encounter as Pakistan seeks to stay alive in the series and Australia aims to clinch the series win[5][6].
