The soil in UAE is slowly turning out to be the perfect winning track for Pakistan, as they have won three T20s and two One Day Internationals consecutively here against the mighty West Indies. The third and final ODI will be played on October 06, 2016, at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. The match will begin at 04.30 PM IST.
Pakistan is currently in the eighth position of the ICC ODI cricket rankings, and a win here may help them to move up in the table so that they will qualify for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 automatically without getting pulled out to play the qualifiers against the minnows in International cricket.
Babar Azam is the spinal cord of the Pakistan batting line-up, and the young cricketer, through his daring innings in the previous match has proved that he is an asset to his National side. While playing the third game, Pakistan will surely miss the service of Mohammed Amir who has left the team as a result of his mother’s illness.
In all probabilities, Rabat Ali will replace Mohammed Amir in this game for Pakistan, while Evin Lewis will make its way to the West Indian line-up in this match.
Pitch conditions
As always, pitch in Abu Dhabi will be a perfect track for batsmen, and it will not be a surprise that this game will turn out to be a high-scoring one. There are absolutely no chances of a shower, and the temperature will range between 40-42 in the day and 24-26 in the night.
