Pakistan on Tuesday won the toss and chose to bowl against Australia in their second one-day international (ODI) match being played in Lahore.

Shaheen Afridi and Josh Inglis were present at the toss, with the former opting to bowl first at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium.

The hosts took a 1-0 lead on Saturday courtesy of a commanding performance led by debutant all-rounder Arafat Minhas at the match in Rawalpindi.

The 21-year-old claimed five wickets as Pakistan’s slow bowlers accounted for eight dismissals, exposing a long-standing Australian vulnerability against quality spin in subcontinental conditions.
