Vice-captain Mohammad Hafeez said Pakistan were focussed on winning the third one-day match at Sharjah Stadium here on Monday to take their first series against Australia in ten years. Pakistan and Australia go into the third and final one-day at 1-1. Hafeez said records did not matter as Pakistan always go for a win. “We, as a team, think about winning every game but if in the process we are able to achieve a record then it’s fine,” said Hafeez of Pakistan’s prospects of winning their first one-day series against Australia since 2002. Hafeez said Pakistan’s varied bowling gave them the edge over Australia. “We want to take the winning momentum of the second match into the third and our varied bowling attack gives us an edge over Australia,” said Hafeez. Afridi was a doubtful starter for Monday. Hafeez refused to admit that it will be a win toss, win match situation after Pakistan benefitted from Australia’s decision of batting first in Abu Dhabi. “They were wet conditions in Abu Dhabi but they are the same for both the teams and I don’t think the toss will be decisive,” said Hafeez.
