The Pakistan National Cricket Team has also rested Naseem Shah as well for the final game. Rizwan and the pacer will be replaced by Haseebullah and Jahandad Khan in the team. The rest of the team is the same as what they fielded in the last game.

Babar Azam, who has been struggling to get going in the last two T20Is, has retained his place in the team. He will be having a great opportunity to regain his form, help his team win the game, and end the series on high.

Sahibzada Farhan will be opening the innings alongside Babar Azam. HaseebUllah will be the keeper-batter while the middle order will see the likes of Usman Khanz captain Agha Salman and Irfan Khan.

Shaheen Afridi will be leading the pace attack which will see Haris Rauf, Abbas Afridi and left-arm seamer Jahandad Khan. Sufiyan Muqeem, who impressed many with his heroics in the last game, will be a spinner in the team and would be hoping to carry in his golden form.

Pakistan are currently 2-0 down in the series after their horrible displays in the first two games of the series

Pakistan are currently 2-0 down in the series. They displayed horrible perfomances in the first two games and struggled to get going with the bat. The first match between the teams was reduced to 7-over due to rain and this saw Australia winning the game by 29 runs.

In the second game, the Pakistan National Cricket Team restricted the Australia National Cricket Team to a total of 147 runs. However, it was a horrible batting effort from their end as they failed to chase the target and lost the game by 13 runs to lose the series. The young Pakistan team would now be hoping to stage a comeback and win the final game of the series.
