Australia vs Pakistan Match Preview, 3rd T20I
Australia have clinched the T20I series by 2-1 winning the last game by 13 runs.
Australia (AUS) will take on Pakistan (PAK) in the third and final T20I of the series at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Monday, November 18.
The Aussies have clinched the series by 2-0, as Pakistan would like to end their tour with a win in the upcoming game. Pakistan looked rusty in their chase after restricting Australia to 147/9. Their key batters such as Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan did not have a great time in the middle.
On the other hand, the hosts were clinical in their efforts on the field. They did not miss a lot of catching chances and their bowlers economical barring Marcus Stoinis. Though none of their batters crossed the 50-run mark, the contribution came in little cameos by the majority of the batters in the line-up. They would like to complete a whitewash against the Men in Green with a win in Hobart.

Pitch Report
The Bellerive Oval in Hobart holds a reputation of being a batters' paradise, and they tend to enjoy their time at the centre. The short square boundaries will trouble the bowlers in their prospects. The deck offers very little assistance for the spinners as well. On the weather front, it will be cloudy with very little chances of rain during the game. The team winning the toss may be better off bowling first.
