Summary
After a delay due to a wet outfield, Australia have won the toss and opted to bat in the series-deciding third ODI against Pakistan at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium on Thursday, June 4. Ground conditions eventually improved enough for play to proceed after the initial hold-up.
The series is finely poised at 1-1, setting up a high-stakes finish once the weather permits action.
Australia head into the decider with confidence after a strong comeback in the second ODI. Following a modest total of 231, their bowlers produced a clinical performance to bundle Pakistan out for 190, sealing a 41-run victory and squaring the series.
Nathan Ellis led the attack with four wickets, while Matthew Short backed him up with three as Josh Inglis’ side eye a rare ODI series win in Pakistan, their first since the 1998/99 tour.
On the other hand, Pakistan will be determined to respond after that defeat and clinch the series at home. Led by Shaheen Afridi, they will look to senior batters like Babar Azam along with Haris Rauf and Salman Agha to step up in the pressure game and deliver in the decisive encounter.
