Australia have also played a fearless brand of cricket in the T20I format. They have unearthed quite a few stars such as Ben McDermott and Josh Inglis. Even without some of the star players, Australia have enough firepower to challenge Pakistan.

On the other hand, the Babar Azam-led side will look to wrap the T20I series with the same dominance as the ODI series. The batting clicked for the side with Imam-ul-Haq and Azam leading the way. The bowlers also delivered a complete performance in the third ODI with Shaheen Shah Afridi leading the charge. With form and momentum by their side, the hosts would be eager to end the tour with a win.
