With the 2019 Cricket World Cup just two months away, Pakistan are looking for a reversal of form, as well as of fortune, as they head into the third one day international against the reigning World Cup champions Australia — a side that seems to be hitting their stride at exactly the right time, riding a five-match ODI winning streak, per the BBC, and looking not only to make it six, but to put away their second, five-match ODI series this month, having defeated India in India earlier. Australia won the first two games of the five-match series that continues with a game that will live stream from Abu Dhabi.
