Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
Pak Team News
Pakistan, after coming off a heavy defeat against Australia in their first game, made a couple of changes to their lineup for their previous game against Zimbabwe. They dropped Mohammad Hafeez and Usman Khan and brought in allrounder Haris Sohail and fast bowler Mohammad Amir. The team is expected to retain both these players and go unchanged into this game.
Pak Key Players
The core of Pakistan's batting is formed by Fakhar Zaman, Shoaib Malik, Sarfraz Ahmed and Hussain Talat, and the team will dearly want at least two of them to play a big innings on Thursday. Fakhar with a half-century and a 47 in this series has scored the most runs for his side while Talat and Shoaib have also been chipping in with handy contributions. Hasan Ali has taken three wickets in as many matches and he together with Mohammad Amir will spearhead the pace attack. Shadab Khan is a skillful bowler and he is going to pose the biggest challenge to the Australian batsmen who have a tendency of faltering against quality spin bowling.
Pak Recent Form
Pakistan eliminated Zimbabwe out of the tri-series with a seven-wicket win over them in the last match. This means that they have now won nine out of the eleven T20 internationals they have played this year. Prior to that win, Pakistan received a thrashing at the hands of Australia in the second match of the series.
Pakistan Predicted Playing 11
Fakhar Zaman, Haris Sohail, Hussain Talat, Sarfraz Ahmed (c/wk), Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Nawaz, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Amir
Australia Team News & Playing 11
Aus Team News
Australia played the same team in their first two matches and ended up winning both of them with ease. Although they have been guaranteed a place in the tri-series final with Pakistan beating Zimbabwe in the last match, the Aussies will probably still stick with the winning combination for this game.
Aus Key Players
Aaron Finch is in supreme form with scores of 84, 68* and 172 in his last three T20I innings. He bettered his previous best of 156 in the last game against Zimbabwe and Pakistan will want to get rid of him as early as possible. D'Arcy Short got back amongst the runs with a well constructed knock of 46 runs while Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis and Travis Head can all be destructive on their day. Billy Stanlake and Andrew Tye have been the most impressive of all the Australian bowlers so far with five and six wickets respectively. While Tye has taken three wickets each in two games, Stanlake ran through Pakistan's top-order in the reverse encounter claiming a four-fer. Ashton Agar has been very economical and Australia will need him to provide good support to the two pacers.
Aus Recent Form
With two wins from two games, Australia are sitting comfortably at the top of the points table with eight points. After crushing Pakistan by nine wickets in their first match, they decimated hosts Zimbabwe the very next day and broke a few records en route to a massive 100-run win. Batting first, the Aussies posted a humongous 229 - the highest ever total achieved by a team in a T20 international - and then restricted Zimbabwe to 129/9.
Australia Predicted Playing 11
Aaron Finch (c), D'Arcy Short, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Travis Head, Nic Maddinson, Alex Carey (wk), Ashton Agar, Andrew Tye, Jhye Richardson, Billy Stanlake

Pakistan vs Australia Betting Odds
Australia have looked the most dominating team in this series. Their effortless victory in the earlier encounter against Pakistan is what makes them the bookmakers' favorites to win this match at odds of 1.64 on Betfair. Pakistan on the other hand are outsiders for this match and are being offered at a higher price of 2.44 on Betfair.
🏆 Pakistan vs Australia Prediction
Pakistan and Australia have already made it to the tri-series final by virtue of the former's seven-wicket win over Zimbabwe in the last game. Obviously, it is Australia who will be feeling more confident heading into this clash as they had swept aside Pakistan when these two countries locked horns in their first meeting of the series. Pakistan could hardly push their opponents in that game and the manner in which they were humiliated will leave a big scar in their mind. Sarfraz Ahmed and his troops may be the # 1 side in T20 cricket but we suggest backing Australia in this match, given the kind of mood they are in at the moment.
Final Verdict: Back Australia to beat Pakistan at 1.64 with Betfair.
