Who will win Australia vs Pakistan, 3rd T20 2019?
Australia will look to maintain their excellent recent T20i form when they take on Pakistan in the third and final T20i of this three-game series. The match takes place at Perth Stadium on November 8 and is scheduled to start at 16:30 local time.
The Aussies, led by Steve Smith’s 80* from 51 balls, won the second game of this series by seven wickets after the first was cut short by rain. Across this series, and the one with Sri Lanka, Smith, David Warner and Aaron Finch have all been in fine batting form.
Pakistan, who lost at home to Sri Lanka before this series, are in the mire but Iktikhar Ahmed’s 62* from 34 balls did at least mean they could take some positives last time out – even if they remain big outsiders.

AUS vs PAK Toss Prediction
Each team have won the toss once so far, though Pakistan have ended up batting first both times. Perth could be a tempting one to bowl first on.
AUS vs PAK Weather Report
Perth is set to be hot on Friday, even in the late afternoon, with temperatures in the 30s, zero chance of rain and very little cloud to disrupt things either.
AUS vs PAK Pitch Condition
Perth’s WACA Ground is fast and bouncy and the Perth Stadium wicket was curated along the same lines – it is still good for fast bowlers, though not quite as hard as its sister pitch.

Australia Team News & Playing 11
AUS Team News
With one eye on the ICC T20 World Cup next summer, Australia may look to rotate their team for this final game of the series. D’Arcy Short could come in for Ben McDermott, while Billy Stanlake is waiting for another opportunity too. Pat Cummins has been rested, which could open the door for Stanlake or Sean Abbott.
AUS Key Players
David Warner: Dismissed for the first time in his five T20i games this summer last time out, but not before he had already hit four fours to continue his fine batting form with 20 from 11 in total. He previously hit more than 200 unbeaten runs in the series with Sri Lanka.
Aaron Finch: Smashed an unbeaten 37 from 16 balls last time out before the rain came and hit three fours on his way to 17 last time out. He and Warner have forged some good partnerships at the top of the order so far.
Steve Smith: Central to Australia’s Ashes success in England, he has carried that form on and hit 80* from 51 balls last time out. It followed his score of 53* in the second T20i against Sri Lanka too.
AUS Team Form
Australia earned three big wins against Sri Lanka prior to this series and look to be heading for another series success against Pakistan. They were well on top when the rain came down to disrupt the opening game but they made up for lost time in the second match – Steve Smith hitting 80* from 51 balls to lead a chase of 151 as Australia won by seven wickets.
Australia Predicted Playing 11
Aaron Finch (c), David Warner, Steve Smith, Alex Carey (wk), D’Arcy Short, Ashton Turner, Billy Stanlake, Ashton Agar, Mitchell Starc, Sean Abbott, Adam Zampa
Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
PAK Team News
How long can Pakistan continue to overlook Imam-ul-Haq, given their poor form in T20i cricket? He and Mohmmad Hasnain are among the options to bring in as they look to arrest their poor form, while Muhammad Musa, Khushdil Shah and Usman Qadir are in the touring squad too.
PAK Key Players
Babar Azam: Scored his second consecutive half-century last time out, following up an unbeaten 59 from 38 balls in the first game with 50 from 38 last time out.
Shadab Khan: Wicketless last time out but he did keep things tidy with figures of 0-25. He previously took three wickets in the warm-up game.
Iktikhar Ahmed: Proved his worth with an unbeaten 62 from 34 balls at the end of the innings – though his first T20i half-century, he has 14 in total in full T20 cricket, including one in his most recent Khyber innings.
PAK Team Form
Babar Azam has hit half-centuries in both games against Australia for Pakistan so far. He was 59* from 38 balls when rain cut the Pakistan innings short on 107/5 from 15 overs in the first match of the series. More rain then spared the tourists after Australia had raced out of the blocks in pursuit of that target.
In the second T20i, Azam hit 50 from 38 balls and Iktikhar Ahmed a late 62* from 34, but Pakistan’s total of 150/6 was chased down for the loss of just three wickets – Australia winning with nine balls to spare.
Pakistan Predicted Playing 11
Babar Azam (c), Fakhar Zaman, Haris Sohail, Imam-ul-Haq, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Irfan
Australia vs Pakistan Head to Head
Australia had lost their last five completed T20i matches against Pakistan before Steve Smith hit 80* from 51 balls to lead them to a seven-wicket win last time out. Babar Azam has been Pakistan’s key man of late – he has scored half-centuries in each of the last three games – but this time it was not enough, even with Iftikhar Ahmed adding a rapid 62*. Pakistan posted 150/6 and Australia won by seven wickets with nine balls to spare.
