Sydney: Australia secured the one-day series against Pakistan with a commanding 86-run win at the Sydney Cricket Ground yesterday, taking a 3-1 lead in the five match series. Set an imposing 354 to win, Pakistan were never really in the hunt.
After Australia made 353 for six on the back of a David Warner century that was aided by appalling fielding from the tourists, Pakistan replied with 267 from 43.5 overs. Opener Sharjeel Khan whacked out 74 from just 47 balls, but once he fell to recalled leg-spinner Adam Zampa Pakistan's fate was all but sealed.
