PAK vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: Dream11 Team Today, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Injury Update - Australia Tour of Pakistan 2026, 2nd T20I

This game will be played at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, one of the most popular cricket stadiums in Pakistan. The pitch here is usually good for batting in the first innings, but bowlers also get help if they bowl in the right areas. Spinners can become useful in the middle overs. Teams chasing often get an advantage because of the dew, however, it is unlikely to affect much due to the early start. A total between 160 and 180 is seen as a fighting score at this ground.
After his "Player of the Match" performance in the series opener, opener Saim Ayub is the most valuable asset. He provides points with both his aggressive batting in the powerplay and his effective off-spin. Ayub is a top captain pick as per the PAK vs AUS Dream11 team prediction. Australia's Adam Zampa cannot be was the pick of the bowlers for the visitors in the last match. Being one of the best T20 bowlers in the world, Zampa will be key here as well.

We can expect Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha to bat first after winning the toss in this PAK vs AUS Dream11 prediction today match. This follows the trend from the first game, where Pakistan successfully defended a total. If we look at the Gaddafi Stadium pitch report, it favors teams setting a target on a drying, spin-friendly surface.
