Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first against Australia in the third T20I of the ongoing three-match series on Monday at Bellerive Oval.
The Pakistani squad on Sunday reached Hobart for the third T20I. The touring side, who registered a historic victory in the three-match ODI series, failed to deliver a similar performance in the ongoing T20I series as they’ve already lost the series.
Earlier on Saturday, the hosts won T20I series 2-0 against the green shirts after defeating visitors by 13 runs in second match at Sydney Cricket Ground.
Set to chase 148, Pakistan only managed 134 before being bundled out in the final over.
