AUS vs PAK Dream11 3rd ODI Match Prediction | Who Will Win Today Match

Abu Dhabi, March 27, Wednesday at 04:30 PM IST

The five-matches ODI series between Australia and Pakistan rests at 2-0 and the Kangaroos are in no mood to relax against Pakistan. Two back to back centuries from skipper Aaron Finch – 116 in first ODI and 153 not out in the second ODI- has helped the visitors gain a 2-0 lead in the series and would be looking to seal the series when both the sides face each other at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Wednesday evening.

2nd ODI: Highlights

Having opted to bat after winning the toss, Pakistan posted 284-7 on the board, courtesy Mohammad Rizwan’s maiden ton. M Rizwan (116) and skipper Shoaib Malik (60) were in the runs for Pakistan in the second ODI. Jhye Richardson and N Coulter-Nile accounted for 2 wickets each for Australia.

In reply, Aaron Finch (unbeaten 153 ) continued his good form and guided Australia to a convincing 8 wickets victory pairing with Usman Khawaja (88) at the top. The visitors chased down the target in 47.5 overs with 8 wickets in hand.

Earlier, Australia won the first ODI by 8 wickets after chasing down 280 runs target, courtesy Aaron Finch (116) and Shaun Marsh (91).

Kangaroos one of the favourites for CWC 2019

Speaking ahead of the third ODI, Usman Khawaja has urged his team not to relax and carry forward the momentum against Pakistan. With the CWC 2019 just a couple of months away, Australia has really made a strong comeback. They went on to seal the 5-match ODI series in India by 3-2 after lagging behind by 2-0 and lead the series against Pakistan by 2-0. They will be looking to finish off things in Abu Dhabi tomorrow rather than waiting for the last two games in Dubai.

“We can’t get relaxed, we can’t think that we’ve done all the hard work and that we’re fine now. There are still three games left” – Usman Khawaja

 

The side looks really formidable with the current form of players. Usman Khawaja, Aaron Finch, Peter Handscomb and Shaun Marsh in the batting line up are in great form and pose a real threat to any bowling attack. In bowling, Pat Cummins and Adam Zampa were brilliant against India while Nathan Coulter Nile with 4 scalps is leading wicket-taker against Pakistan so far in the two games.

A must-win game for Pakistan   

Pakistan is lagging behind by 2-0 and needs to secure a win tomorrow to avoid the series from turning into a dead rubber. While Harris Sohail slammed a century in the first game, M Rizwan scored his maiden ODI ton in the second ODI. However, the lacklustre bowling attack has resulted in an easy run chase for Australia on both occasions.

The inexperience due to unavailability of key players –  Fakhar Zaman, Sarfraz Khan, Babar Azam, Hasan Ali, Shadab Khan and Shaheen Shah Afridi is clearly visible in the side. However, that won’t be a much of concern for the management as they have already made their minds on the 15-member squads travelling to England. The management also decided to recall Fahim Ashraf to Pakistan as they have decided to give sufficient rest to their frontline players ahead of the World Cup.

AUS VS PAK DREAM11 TEAM

M Rizwan will be a better pick in wicketkeeper. He slammed his maiden ODI ton in last game and also comes up in the order to bat.

Aaron Finch, Usman Khawaja and Shaun Marsh are a must have batters in the side. Finch has scored two back to back centuries while Khawaja and Marsh have scored 80+ runs so far.

I Wasim, G Maxwell and M Stoinis are not to miss all-rounders.

In bowling, Pakistan has looked off colour. Nathan Coulter Nile, Adam Zampa and Pat Cummins can be the right choices.
