Australian batters struggle against Pakistan fast bowlers in third ODI

Australia team is struggling after losing 4 wickets for 72 runs against Pakistan in the third ODI in Perth.

Earlier, Pakistan won the toss and opted to field first at the Optus Stadium in Perth.

Today’s game will determine who emerges victorious in the three-match series, which is currently levelled at 1-1 after the Green Shirts made a stunning comeback to defeat the hosts during a one-sided contest of the second ODI at the Adelaide Oval.

Five changes have been made in the Australian team.

After winning the toss, Pakistan captain Muhammad Rizwan said that the pitch does not look different, so they are bowling first and will try to play well in this match like the previous match.
