Australia Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Mitchell Marsh, Mitchell Starc, and Chris Lynn are out due to injuries. Adam Zampa and Peter Handscomb have been included in the team.
Key Players
Captain Steve Smith has been the top scorer for the team this season and can be well depended upon to take the team forward in times of trouble. Apart from him, the batting side has good players who can fully support him to put up a big score, like Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Wade, and Travis Head. Pat Cummins and James Faulkner have bowled well in this series and have taken a lot of wickets, and will benefit the team if they continue their form.
Recent Form
Australia thrashed Pakistan in the test series that preceded the ODI matches, and had a strong upper hand, until Pakistan beat them in the last ODI, something that hasn't happened in 12 years.
Australia Predicted XI
-
Usman Khawaja, David Warner, Sam Smith (c), Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Wade (wk), James Faulkner, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Adam Zampa, Peter Handscomb.
Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Pakistan are set to continue with the same team as the second ODI when they beat Australia, and no big changes should be expected.
Key Players
Mohammad Hafeez, Babar Azam, and Shoaib Malik have scored well in the ODI series and are likely to take the momentum forward. The bowling side is doing a little better than the batting side. Mohammad Amir, Imad Wasim, and Hasan Ali have taken the most wickets for the team. Junaid Khan played in the last match for the international side after a long time, and performed well.
Recent Form
Pakistan have had a terrible tour, where they did not win any test match against Australia, but shocked everyone when they won the last ODI, which happened after a span of 12 years, and the team is pumped up to win the next one too.
Pakistan Predicted XI

Mohammad Hafeez (c), Sharjeel Khan, Babar Azam, Asad Shafiq, Shoaib Malik, Umar Akmal, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir, Hasan Ali, Junaid Khan.
