After the end of a draining one-day series, which Australia won 3-2, the teams sign off with a Twenty20 in Dubai. Time is running out for the sides ahead of the World Twenty20 in June and both outfits remain in heavy testing.
Australia have a new captain in Brad Haddin, the wicketkeeper, who takes over after Michael Clarke left following Sunday's loss to gain a few extra days of rest. Ricky Ponting is also at home, but will rejoin his men in England along with Michael Hussey and Mitchell Johnson.
Haddin led his country for the first time in January, when Australia beat New Zealand in Sydney, and the title shows his growing importance in the set-up. His opposite number is Younis Khan, who remains wary of the Australians in all forms of the game.
