Pakistan win toss, elect to bat against Australia in the 2nd Test match at Abu Dhabi

Pakistan have won the toss and decided to bat first against Australia in the 2nd Test match being played at Shaikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi.

The hosts have made two changes in the team as Fakhar Zaman and Mir Hamza are making their Test debut for Pakistan in place of Imamul Haq and Wahab Riaz.

Haq —who was in great touch — ruled out of entire tour after fracturing his finger while fielding in Dubai. Meanwhile Wahab Riaz —who made his comeback in the team — remained wicket less in the same



Test.

On the other hand, Australia are fielding in unchanged side that drew the Dubai Test.
