Pakistan wins toss and bats in final T20 against Australia

Hobart (Australia), Nov 18 (AP) Paksitan won the toss and elected to bat in the third and final Twenty20 game against Australia on Monday.
    The tourists rested captain Mohammad Rizwan with Salman Agha to lead in Rizwan's absence.
    Haseebullah Khan returned to the lineup, while Babar Azam opened the batting with Sahibzada Farhan.
    Left-arm pace bowler Jahandad Khan made his debut, replacing Naseem Shah.
    For the third successive game, Australia kept faith in the same playing XI.
    The hosts had a 29-run win in a rain-shortened seven-overs-a-side match in the first T20 at Brisbane, before fast bowler Spencer Johnson grabbed a career-best 5-26 and propelled Australia to a 13-run win to clinch the three-match series with a game to spare on Saturday.
    Pakistan won the preceding ODI series 2-1.
