Fatima Sana will continue to captain the side in the shortest format, with all matches scheduled for a 7:30pm local time start.
The announcement comes as Pakistan hold an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ongoing three-match ODI series against the same opponents while the third ODI in progress.
The most notable talking points in the T20I squad are the maiden international call-ups for right-arm pacer Amber Kainat and all-rounder Saira Jabeen.
Amber earned her selection on the back of an impressive National Women’s T20 Tournament, where she took 11 wickets in eight matches for the Invincibles. Saira, meanwhile, was previously part of the T20I squad during Pakistan’s recent tour of South Africa but is yet to make her debut.
