In a significant development, Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan won the toss and elected to bowl first in the third and final ODI match against Australia at the Optum Stadium, Perth on Sunday, November 10.

During the toss Mohammad Rizwan revealed why he opted to field first again in Perth 

"We will bowl first again. We saw the stats of the pitch, we are trying to do well as we did in the last match. We are confident and we want to keep it going in this match. Haris Rauf knows the Australian conditions as he plays lot of BBL and he helps the other bowlers as well."

Australia Make Five Changes In Their Playing XI

Meanwhile, Australia has made significant changes to their playing XI from the last game, with Josh Inglis leading the side. He also revealed that they wanted to bowl first as well.

"It's been a bit of a whirlwind last few days. Really excited and looking forward to this match. We would have bowled first as well. But don't think it will change much during the course of the game and looking forward to doing well here. We have got five changes. Smith, Labuschagne, Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood miss out. That's part one. Marcus Stoinis, Cooper Connolly, Sean Abbott, Lance Morris and Spencer Johnson come in. That's part two."
