Mohammad Rizwan out of Pakistan playing XI: The last match of the three-match T20 series being played between Pakistan and Australia is being played in Hobart. The performance of the Pakistan cricket team in this series has not been anything special so far and the team has lost both the opening matches. In such a situation, when the team announced the playing 11 for the third match, everyone was surprised. In fact, Pakistan has shown the way out to Captain Rizwan. This playing XI was announced on Monday 18 November, two hours before the start of the match at Bellerive Oval in Hobart.

Pakistan has not confirmed why Mohammad Rizwan was not selected in the playing XI. In such a situation, it can be assumed that he has been rested for this match. Salman Ali Agha is captaining Pakistan in the last T20 match. Pakistan has also not selected Naseem Shah in the playing XI and it seems that the team management has given him rest after playing all five matches of the series. Let us tell you that Naseem was injured in the first ODI in Melbourne, but he successfully overcame this concern and played a key role in their first series win in Australia since 2002.

Pakistan's poor performance

The Mohammad Rizwan-led side lost the first T20I played in the series at seven-overs per side due to rain. Australia made 93 runs for 4 wickets in 7 overs and Pakistan made just 64 runs and lost nine wickets after their top order failed. In the second T20I, Pakistan opened with Babar and Rizwan but could not chase down a mediocre score of 148 despite Usman Khan's half-century. So now they would like to make a strong comeback.
