Australia have chances to win in the 3rd T20 against Pakistan.Australia lost their two match against Pakistan.
In the 1st T20I, on Oct 24, 2018, which was held in Abu Dhabi Australia lost by a big margin.Pakistan gave a target of 156 and they won it by 66 runs on that match.
In the 2nd T20I,on Oct 26, 2018, which was held in Abu Dhabi ,they lost in this game too.Pakistan gave a target of 148 and they won by 11 runs in that match.
Maxwell was left too much to do with as Australia slipped from 31 for 3 to 73 for 6 in the 14th over in that match. He was dropped twice and did raise a few hopes when he picked up 13 runs from the 17th over to reduce the target to 43 in last three overs. Both Maxwell and Nathan Coulter-Nile kept Pakistan on their toes with a 59-run stand before they eventually ran out of steam.But they failed to win that match at last.
Lets see whats the two Captains told after the game-
Aaron Finch: We were a bit tentative in the powerplay. Going from 6 down in the powerplay in the last game to tonight, we were too conservative. When pakistan applies the squeeze on you, it can be very tough. They are playing great cricket at this moment and are confident. All credit to them. There are definite areas in which we can improve. We will come out in game 3 and give it our best shot. All the chat around was about the wicket, our positive intent, postive playing and we did not go out there and sum up the options quickly. We allowed the run-rate to go up to 9 and onwards pretty quickly. The bowlers are doing very well. Nathan is coming back after an injury and there are a few guys who are coming back after an injury. So, it is good to see their confidence.(source-cricbuzz)
Sarfraz Ahmed: It is not easy to win 10 series' in this format and that too in a row. The credit goes to the players and the management. All the players are becoming match winners. I had confidence on Shaheen. He is a left-armer, that helped me to allow him to bowl the final over. I briefed him on the plan and he showed that he has the capability. Yes, he is young and inexperienced but he will learn. Imad has done well to come back. Shadab is doing well. Whenever I need, I have Hafeez bowling as well. I felt Hasan will do well after the 10th over and that is why I brought him late. We felt we played out too many dot balls. We also have to ensure that the lower-order contributes more. It is a big win and I hope people are happy with this.(source-cricbuzz)
