Pakistan is poised to clash with Australia in the crucial third and final ODI of their series on Sunday, November 10, at Perth Stadium.
Both teams have secured one victory each, so Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan might consider a tactical adjustment by resting young pacer Naseem Shah and bringing in Aamer Jamal instead.
Naseem's performances in the series have been mixed; he has taken only two wickets in the first two matches while giving away a significant number of runs.
Although he has made notable contributions with the bat, his bowling has raised some concerns.
Moreover, Naseem suffered a minor ankle injury during the first ODI, which adds to the worries about his fitness for the upcoming match.
If he does not play, it would fit with Rizwan's strategy of trying out different players in preparation for upcoming series.
Otherwise, Pakistan's batting lineup is likely to stay the same following Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique’s remarkable 137-run opening partnership in the second ODI, which laid the groundwork for Pakistan's nine-wicket triumph.
Thie final encounter is crucial, and fans are eagerly anticipating whether Rizwan’s strategic moves will lead to a successful outcome, including the potential introduction of Aamer Jamal to invigorate the bowling lineup.
