Having already conceded the series 2-0, the visitors will aim to salvage a consolation win and regain some confidence. Their batting lineup, which has faltered under pressure, and the lack of impact from the bowlers have left Pakistan struggling to compete against a formidable Australian side. Led by Babar Azam, Pakistan must address their shortcomings quickly to avoid a whitewash.
Australia, on the other hand, has looked unstoppable, displaying dominance with both bat and ball. Contributions from top-order batters and their in-form bowling attack have set the tone for their victories. With the series already secured, the hosts may experiment with their lineup but will aim to maintain their winning momentum heading into upcoming contests.
The Bellerive Oval in Hobart is a batting-friendly venue with short square boundaries, making it ideal for high-scoring games. Of the 13 T20Is played here, 7 were won by teams batting first, 5 by teams chasing, and 1 ended in no result. Spinners generally struggle due to limited turn, while new-ball seamers find some assistance.
