Pakistan thrashed Australia by 8 wickets on Sunday (November 10) at Optus Stadium, Perth to clinch the ODI series by 2-1.

Soon after Short's good start to had an end as he perished to Haris Rauf after 22 off 30 balls.

Australia then had mini collapse but Sean Abbott scored a fine 30 off 41 balls to help Australia get a slender 140 on the board.

In reply, Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique had another splendid partnership together as the duo added 84 runs off 104 balls and killed the chase inside the 20 overs. Lance Morris, however, picked up two wickets in an over but that didn’t stop Pakistan from chasing the total as Pakistan's star duo Babar Azam and skipper Mohammad Rizwan steered them home with a superb win.

This is Pakistan's maiden ODI series victory in Australia since 2002.
