Welcome to our preview of the final match of the T20 tri-series between Pakistan and Australia. We are covering AUS vs PAK Final T20 Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable XI for the match. The match will be played at the Harare Sports Club, Harare.
Pakistan is the number one ranked team in the T20I cricket while they had a strong challenge from Australia in this series. Both the teams have comfortably defeated Zimbabwe and have beaten each other once. So this final is now the perfect fixture between these two to determine the stronger team.
Australia overcame the loss they suffered against Pakistan in the previous encounter and posted a win against Zimbabwe. The good news for the men in yellow was the performances of Travis Head and Glenn Maxwell. They have been heavily dependent on Aaron Finch so far. Bowling effort was good as Tye enjoyed his fourth consecutive three-wicket haul. Stanlake and Jhye Richardson continued the good work.
Pakistan will also be confident because they dominated the Australian team in the last T20I. With Fakhar Zaman’s 73, Pakistan managed to post 194/7 in their first innings. The chase was punctured as soon as Aaron Finch got out and the number one ranked team was clinical thereafter. Pakistan eventually won by 45 runs which is a healthy winning margin.
