Australia has already clinched the T20 series with victories in the first two matches, but Pakistan is determined to end the series on a high note in the third and final T20 game. Opting to bat first, Pakistan is looking to avoid a whitewash and finish strong in Hobart.
While Pakistan lost the T20 series, they achieved a historic milestone earlier by securing their first ODI series win against Australia in 22 years, defeating the world-class team on Australian soil. This remarkable victory has boosted the morale of the team, and they will look to carry that momentum into the T20 format.

In the third T20I, Pakistan has made some significant changes to their lineup. With captain Mohammad Rizwan rested, Salman Agha will take over the captaincy. Sahibzada Farhan will open the innings alongside Babar Azam, while Haseebullah Khan returns to bat at one-drop and keep wicket. Jahandad Khan will make his debut, replacing Naseem Shah.
Despite the series result, both teams are eager to finish on a high. Australia will be using the match as an opportunity for players to prove their worth, with key players like Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood set to return. Meanwhile, Pakistan is focused on building on their historic ODI success and hoping for a consolation win in the T20 series. It promises to be an exciting contest, with both teams aiming to finish their Australian tour on a strong note.
