Pitch Report

The pitch at Multan seems to be slowing down a touch with spinners like Akeal Hosein, Shadab Khan, and Mohammad Nawaz being amongst the wickets in the second ODI. The batters need to apply themselves first before going for the big shots. The skipper winning the toss might want to bat first.

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match

Imam-ul-Haq:

Playing at his home ground, Imam has been amongst the runs and he would want to cap off the series with a big knock. He got run out in the second ODI and looked frustrated. Imam has been consistent for some period, as he also scored well against Australia in the previous series.

Probable best bowler of the match

Akeal Hosein:

Spinner Akeal Hosein is expected to play a crucial part as the pitch is assisting the spinners. He has scalped four wickets in two matches and is currently placed third for most wickets in the series. The left-arm spinner sticks to a tight line and length and will want to do good in the final match of the series.
