Pakistan wins the toss and elects to participate in the second ODI against Australia

ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) — Pakistan won the toss and elected to take part in the second one-day international against Australia on Friday at the Adelaide Oval.

Fast bowler Josh Hazlewood replaced Sean Abbott in the only change Australia made from the team that beat Pakistan by two wickets in the first game on Monday.

Captain Pat Cummins hopes to wrap up the three-match series before Australia goes into the final match in Perth on Sunday without five frontline players.

Mitchell Starc, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Cummins and Hazlewood will be rested ahead of the five-Test series against India, which begins on November 22 in Perth.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Josh Inglis was named interim captain for the last ODI in Perth. He will also lead the team in next week’s three T20s against Pakistan after Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head were on paternity leave.

Pakistan kept the same playing XI that almost achieved an unexpected victory. Fast bowler Naseem Shah recovered from cramps and was declared fit as the visitors continued to field a four-pronged attack, led by Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf.
