AUS vs PAK 3rd T20I Dream11 Team Prediction and Probable XI: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Australia vs Pakistan match. We are covering AUS vs PAK 3rd T20I Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the third T20I match of the three-match series. The match is to be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

Pakistan sealed the T20I series after their triumph in the Test series played earlier to establish complete domination over the Australian team. The second T20I was a slightly improved showing from the visiting team as they ran close but still were far away from matching Pakistan’s standard.

Batting first, Babar Azam and number three Mohammad Haffez batted with caution and set a steady platform for Pakistan. Other than Faheem Ashraf, no one else could make a significant contribution and the team ended at 147/6 in 20 overs. Coulter-Nile grabbed three wickets and Stanlake picked two.

Australia again began terribly and failed to conquer Imad Wasim’s spin. Top three returned to the pavilion without getting into the double figures. Mitchell raised hopes but fell prey to Shadab Khan. Glenn Maxwell gave his best with 52 runs from 37 balls. Coulter-Nile struck a few boundaries at the end to make the match exciting but fell short by 11 runs.
