Australia Playing 11 vs Pakistan - 3rd ODI, Pakistan tour of Australia 2024

Matthew Short:

After scoring 1 run in the first game, Short got the start in the second game. However, he could not last long and was out for only 19 runs.

Jake Fraser-McGurk:

The highly-rated opener would be looking to finish the series on a high. He scored 16 runs in the first ODI before being dismissed for 13 runs in the second.

Josh Philippe:

With Steve Smith not a part of the squad, Josh Philippe could play his first ODI since 2021. The right-handed batsman will be looking to grab the opportunity with both hands.

Josh Inglis (c & wk):

The onus will be on stand-in captain Josh Inglis to inspire the new-look side. He played a fine knock of 49 runs in the first ODI before scoring 18 in the second game. Inglis will be looking to lead his team from the front in the forthcoming game.

Marcus Stoinis:

After warming the bench in the first two games, Marcus Stoinis is likely to play the third and final game. The veteran all-rounder will be looking to hit the ground running.

Glenn Maxwell:

With the series online, Australia will be relying on their veteran allrounder Glenn Maxwell. He has had an average series so far and will be looking to make a big impact in the must-win clash.

Aaron Hardie:

Aaron Hardie has also failed to do well in the series so far. He has bowled just 6 overs so far without taking any wickets while scoring 24 runs in 2 matches.

Spencer Johnson:

Spencer Johnson looks set to play the upcoming game. The hosts will be hoping that he gives them a good start with the new ball.

Xavier Bartlett:

After picking up an impressive 8 wickets in just 2 ODIs in his debut series earlier this year, Bartlett will be looking to continue his fine start in ODIs.

Adam Zampa:

The onus will be on Adam Zampa to lead the bowling attack in the absence of other senior bowlers. Time and again, Zampa has delivered for Australia in crunch games and he will be looking to do it again in the upcoming game.

Lance Morris:

Lance Morris is also looking set to play the upcoming game. The right-arm pacer has played only 2 ODIs so far.
