The hosts have a chance to wrap up the T20 series in the second match at the SCG, having romped to a convincing win in the first - a weather-curtailed seven over shootout in Brisbane on Thursday. They go in unchanged from that side, with captain Josh Inglis saying it looked like a good wicket to run up a big score. Pakistan, who need a win to stay alive, make one alteration.

Big-hitting Haseebullah drops down to the bench with left-arm wrist spinner Sufiyan Muqeem coming in. He has played three T20Is before, though those came when Pakistan fielded a second-string side for the Asian Games in Hangzhou last year.
