Earlier, in the first Test, Marnus Labuschagne and David Warner scored centuries to help their side post a dominating total. Th♑en, Mitchell Starc shattered the Pakistani batting unit along with Pat Cumm♌ins.
On Tuesday, Australia’s coach Justin Langer also hinted that there should be an unchanged squad for the upcoming Test.
“We haven’t had a good look at the wicket yet, but my gut feeling is we’ll probably go with the same XI,” said Langer.
Here’s the playing XI of Australia for the Day-Night Test:
David Warner, Joe Burns, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Matthew Wade, Travis Head, Tim Paine (c, wk), Pat C🐼ummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
