Toss Pakistan chose to bat v Australia
Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez won the toss and chose to bat first against Australia in the second Twenty20 match in Dubai.
Pakistan named an unchanged side, retaining the combination of pace and spin that shot Australia out for 89 in the opening match of the series.
Australia had previously announced three changes to the team that lost the opening match in ignominious fashion, dropping Ben Hilfenhaus, Xavier Doherty and Glenn Maxwell for Daniel Christian, Mitchell Starc and Brad Hogg.
Bailey's team must win the match to keep the series alive, and also to avoid the scenario of dropping below Ireland on the ICC's T20 rankings.
