AUS vs PAK Key Factors

Pitch Conditions

The match will be played at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart. It is a typical Australian pitch where bowlers will get good pace and bounce but the batsmen will also get their reward for playing shots.

The average first innings total at this venue is 158 runs and both the teams will be looking to post a competitive total if they bat first in the upcoming Australia vs Pakistan T20I.

Form and Fitness

There are no injury concerns for either of the two teams.

Tactical Acumen

Australia - Australia's bowlers have successfully managed to keep the Pakistan batsmen silent for two games in a row. With conditions in Hobart unlikely to change much, the Australia pacers will be looking to come up with another good performance to put their team on top.

Pakistan - While Pakistan's bowlers have done well on this tour, their batsmen have struggled to impress especially in the ongoing Australia vs Pakistan T20I series. In the first game, Pakistan scored only 64/9 before being all out for 134 in the second game. Pakistan will be hoping that their batsmen especially the senior ones such as Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan deliver in the third AUS vs PAK T20I.
