Pakistan and England will encounter each other today at 11:00 GMT in Dubai as England looks to win the series.
Pakistan has been unsuccessful to chase down targets of 261 and 251 in the first two one-day matches to give England an irresistible 2-0 lead in the four-match series.
Pakistan won the earlier three-Test series 3-0 but now confront their first one-day beats in seven series.
Misbah declined to single out any individual for fault and said everyone had to take shoulder responsibility.
"Even in the Sri Lankan series our lower middle order was not contributing," he said of his team's 4-1 win in November last year.
Former captain Shoaib Malik will be in Saturday's match, who was dropped for the second game, with Pakistan looking to add more bowling options as well as a sturdy batting line-up, Misbah added.
England have done well in the one-day series and Misbah said that betterment was essential to prevent another defeat.
Misbah said the players also had to grasp the weather conditions in the United Arab Emirates, where Pakistan currently play "home" fixtures due to the unstable security circumstances at home.
