Australia is set to take on Pakistan in the 3rd ODI on Sunday, October 13.
The match at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi is slated to start at 10 p.m. AEDT (4 p.m. PKT, 3 p.m. GST).
The match will be broadcast on Fox Sports in Australia, PTV in Pakistan, and Zee Cinema in the United Kingdom.
Live streaming will be available through the broadcasters.
Australia has already won the 1st and 2nd ODIs, by 93 runs and 5 wickets respectively.
Fast bowler Mitchell Johnson told reporters that the team wants to sweep Pakistan as the team looks to continue building momentum ahead of the World Cup.
“Australia’s success has been built on their quick adaptation to local conditions. Glenn Maxwell’s innings in the last game is another positive for the team and he has also contributed well with the ball,” noted CricInfo.
“While the spinners have found assistance on the low, slow tracks, Mitchell Johnson has said that the fast bowlers are also working on getting some reverse swing to work for them.”
Pakistan, on the other hand, are grasping for a win to give the team a boost before the 2 Test series. But the shaky team will have an even tougher time without Wahib Riaz (injury) and captain Misbah-ul-Haq (opt out).
Shahdi Afridi is expected to lead in Misbah’s absence.
The 2 Test series between the teams will take place from Wednesday, October 22 through Sunday, October 26 (1st Test) in Dubai and from Thursday, October 30 to Monday, November 3 (2nd Test) in Abu Dhabi.
After that, Australia will quickly travel back home to Adelaide to face South Africa in a T20 International series starting on November 5.
Pakistan also has a relatively quick turnaround, playing New Zealand in a Test series in the United Arab Emirates starting on November 9.
