Pakistan captain Salman Agha won the toss and opted to bat in the third and final T20 against Australia in Hobart on Monday.

The hosts have already wrapped up the series after winning a rain-hit match in Brisbane by 29 runs and then in Sydney by 13 runs.

Pakistan made three changes with captain and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan apparently resting and Agha leading the team for the first time.

Sahibzada Farhan is set to move up the order and open alongside Babar Azam with Haseebullah Khan keeping wicket.

Seamer Jahandad Khan comes in to make his debut in place of Naseem Shah.

Australia named an unchanged side.
