AUS vs PAK 3rd ODI, Match Prediction- Who Will Win Today?

Australian soil generally turns out to be a nightmare for Pakistan. This time though, Pakistan look well prepared and their bowling has enjoyed the grounds. Haris Rauf in particular has excelled and the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan has been making a difference with aggressive fields and bowling changes, allowing his bowlers to bowl full tilt. They enter as favorites for this decider and may have already had the series had Pat Cummins not pulled off a blinder in Melbourne. Regardless, Pakistan's dominance has been really good and they have a depleted Australian side as Australia lose players to prepare for the Test series against India.

AUS vs PAK Key Players

Haris Rauf

Haris Rauf has had a challenging year. His spot has been in doubt but he has answered questions spectacularly in the previous game. While he was expensive, he was also among the wickets and looked very menacing with his pace. He was accurate, furious and a little more support from his fielder along with a little more discipline could have helped him take his side home.

Josh Inglis

Captaincy waits for Josh Inglis. He will be hoping the series is wrapped up in the next game though with a chunk of his players likely to leave ahead of the third ODI. With a depleted side under him for the final game, the upcoming game stands very important for him to ensure his stint as captain gets off to a good start.

AUS vs PAK Match Tips

The favorites tag might have moved to Pakistan after a dominating performance in the second game. Australia are also pretty depleted now and that is where Pakistan will have more to exploit.
