Pakistan and Australia are all set to lock horns in the three-match T20I series starting from Wednesday in Abu Dhabi.

The series have significant importance as Kangaroos have a chance of overtaking the Men in Green in the ICC T2oI rankings.

Aaron Finch-led — who registered an easy seven-wicket win over the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the only T20I on Monday — are on the third place in the rankings with 123 points, one behind second-placed India.

A series sweep will take Kangaroos to the top of the chart with 130 points — three ahead of Pakistan, whereas a 2-1 win will take the Baggy Greens to the second-spot in the rankings.

On the other hand, Pakistan will need just a win to maintain their top-spot in the rankings.

Series scenarios:

⦁ Pakistan win 3-0: Pakistan 136 points, Australia 118 points

⦁ Pakistan win 2-1: Pakistan133, Australia 122

⦁ Australia win 2-1: Pakistan 130, Australia 126

⦁ Australia win 3-0: Australia 130, Pakistan 127
