AUS vs PAK, T20I Series: Winner Prediction for Match 3 [Source: @cricketcomau, @TheRealPCB/x.com]

Australia will play Pakistan in the third and final match of the T20I series. The match will be played at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, Australia, on November 18 at 1:30 PM IST.

Pakistan stunned the home side with their show in the ODIs. It was expected that they would continue their brilliant show and name the T20I series to themselves, especially against a second-string Australian side. However, under Josh Inglis’s captaincy, the Australian team showed great character in winning the first two games and sealing the series.

Inglis and his unit will be looking to win the final match and complete a clean sweep to revenge their ODI-series defeat. On the other hand, Mohammad Rizwan will not want his debut series as T20I captain to end in being whitewashed. He will want his team to win the game and finish the series on a high.
