Australia vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score and Updates: AUS vs PAK Live Cricket Score, 2nd T20I match Live cricket score at Manuka Oval, Canberra

So, after the first T20I was abandoned due to rain, it's now time for the 2nd T20I between Australia and Pakistan which is going to be played at Canberra. It is the first ever T20I which is going to be played at the Manuka Oval. So far, Australia have been decimating opponents at home. First, it was Sri Lanka, who were thrashed 3-0 in the T20I series. Australia were way better than them in all departments and the same story continued in the first T20I between Pakistan and the hosts as they were cruising to a win before rain saved the visitors' blushes. The showers came pouring down with 78 runs needed in 71 balls for Australia and it would have been a pretty easy task for them. Pakistan will be hoping to improve on that performance and gain an advantage in what is now a 2-match T20I series. Will the no.1 T20I side in the world come up with a surprise performance? Or will the hosts roll them over? Stay tuned for the Toss.
