Will rain play spoiler in Hobart for Pakistan-Australia third T20I?

HOBART: The third T20I between Pakistan and Australia which is scheduled to be played at the Bellerive Oval ground is likely to be played without any weather interruptions.

As per the prediction, the temperature is likely to be a little above 8 degrees C throughout the match which will commence at 7pm (AEST) as scheduled while the chances of rainfall will be quite minimal. There will be low clouds and there will be westerly winds at a speed of around 13 kilometers per hour.

Since precipitation is highly unlikely, it is expected there will be no interruptions in playing the game.

Earlier today, Pakistan’s squad under the leadership of Mohammad Rizwan landed in Hobart for the concluding chapter of the series. The visitors, who made history by winning the ODI series against Australia, have had a tough time in the T20I series as they have lost both games played earlier.

In the rain-marred first game played on Thursday, Pakistan experienced a resounding loss. Then 13-run defeat was encountered in the second T20I played in Sydney.

Having lost the series already with two matches to none in favor of Australia, Pakistan will be looking to restore their pride going into the final match.
