Some changes are must. Useless Fakhar, Harris and Asif should make way for Imam & Khushdil etc. Also, I would drop Irfan and have Hasnain/Musa.
Pakistan likely to make two changes for third Australia T20I Pakistan’s team management has begun the process of analysing the shortcomings of the side and are likely to make two changes for the third and final T20I against Australia in Perth. Struggling opening batsman Fakhar Zaman is likely to be replaced by fellow opener Imamul Haq while middle-order batsman Asif Ali could be replaced by hard-hitting batsman Khushdil Shah. Both Zaman and Ali have failed to justify their place in the T20I side, with the left-hander scoring only 110 runs at a miserable average of 9 runs in his last 12 T20I innings, whereas the latter has accumulated just 331 runs at an average of 18 in 25 T20Is. https://cricketpakistan.com.pk/en/n...-to-make-two-changes-for-third-australia-t20i
Imam Khushdil Babar Harris Iftikhar Imad Rizwan Shadab Wahab Amir Hasnain 3 changes: Imam, Khushdil and Hasnain in. Fakhar, Asif and Irfan out.
Lineup that is likely to play. This is from some reliable sources: Imam Khushdil Babar Iftikhar Asif Ali Rizwan Imad Wasim Usman Qadir Amir Hasnain Mohd Irfan I agree with all of them except Asif Ali. In my opinion, Harris Sohail should play in Asifs place!!
Irfan is likely to get another chance as he bowled better in 2nd game and it is Wahab Riaz on whom axe will fall upon!!
Harris Sohail although he may not be suited to t20 format but you need atleast one player in that middle order who can sambhalofy in case there is a collapse even in this format! He is one batsman who can pull team out of a mess and he can accelerate when he needs to! Harris Sohail is your next Misbah in the making~!~
This should be the playing 11 imo. Imam Khushdil Babar Iftikhar Harris Imad Rizwan Usman Qadir Amir Hasnain Musa
Its important if we have to win we must give chances to youngsters as Australia have seen all of Mohd Irfan, Wahab Riaz and Shadab Khan. We must pick Hasnain, Musa and Usman Qadir in their places!!

Right team selected. Shadab could have been replaced with Usman Qadir as well! All great changes that were needed!!
Today's Team Imam-ul-Haq Babar Azam (c) Mohammad Rizwan Haris Sohail Iftikhar Ahmed Khushdil Shah Imad Wasim Shadab Khan Mohammad Amir Mohammad Hasnain Muhammad Musa I am very happy with this. I would like Rizwan to bat lower though.
Last thing we want is Babar to get out early and you never know with opening,. The best get out early as openers!!
Batting order should be: Imam Khushdil Babar Harris Iftikhar Imad Rizwan Usman Qadir Amir Hasnain Musa
We are already winning this game if we manage to post a fighting total on the board! We have got a good bowling attack tonight! We need to bowl Imad Wasim through with that new ball, Amir to partner him. Shadab in middle overs with Musa and Iftikhar. Amir, Hasnain and Musa at the death.
Post a total on the board for your bowlers. Your bowlers will win you the game. Lot depends on Iftikhar tonight!!
Got to squeeze Australia with spinners. 4 overs of Imad, Shadab and even 2 overs of Iftikhar will be important@
Pakistan havent read this pitch at all! On this pitch, they needed a 4th pacer too!! They needed to play just one spinner here!!
This should have been the lineup here: Imam Khushdil Babar Harris Iftikhar Rizwan Usman Qadir Amir Hasnain Musa Mohd Irfan
Harris Sohail should be the last person taking any risk! He is supposed to bat long whether its 50 overs, test match or even t20! His role in the team is to make others bat around him!! He should stick to his role! There were runs to be had and he had got in there for some time, he needed to cash in on the opportunity, he threw it away!!
