LAHORE, FEB 1: Pakistan on Sunday won the toss and elected to bat first against Australia in the third and final T20I of the three-match series being played at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium.

The national side lead the three-match series by 2-0 courtesy of their consecutive wins in the first two matches, both teams now share an equal head-to-head record with 14 wins each, while one match ended in a tie and another produced no result.

During the match, the Green Shirts will look to maintain their winning momentum after back-to-back victories against Australia as they prepare for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
