Australia vs Pakistan

Skipper Babar Azam hit a second successive century and Imam-ul-Haq an impressive half century Saturday to anchor Pakistan's first series win over Australia ...

Welcome to live coverage of the third ODI - and series decider - between Australia and Pakistan from Lahore.

Pakistan won its first one-day international series against Australia in 20 years after a nine-wicket romp ...

But Green was bowled by Mohammad Wasim, and in the next over Carey holed out to Fakhar in Afridi's return spell. Earlier, after being put in to bat, Australia couldn't recover from losing two wickets before scoring a run. Australia, without leading players, surprisingly won the first game in which an Imam century went in vain. Australia posted 300-plus scores in the last two ODIs but crashed against the Pakistan pace. "When you lose the first game, you need confidence, and credit goes to the players for stepping up their game in the last two matches," Babar said. The home side clinched the series 2-1 after a depleted Australia was bowled out for 210 in 41.5 overs, and the chase ended on 1-214 in 37.5 overs.

Aussie captain Aaron Finch's international career is hanging by a thread.

Out-of-form Finch fell in the next over from Rauf, trapped leg-before for a second time in a row, as Australia lost both openers without a run on the board. Sent in to bat for a third successive time by Azam, Australia lost in-form Head with the first ball of the match, from Shaheen. His form slump leaves Australia with the difficult decision of sticking with Finch through to the end of the men’s T20 World Cup in October and the One-day World Cup next year. Pakistan’s Babar Azam hit a second successive century and Imam-ul-Haq an impressive half century to anchor Pakistan’s first series win over Australia since 2002 with a nine-wicket victory in the third and final one-day international in Lahore on Sunday morning (AEST). A historic capitulation has left captain Aaron Finch’s international career hanging by a thread and left the Aussie team at a crossroads.

The Australian men's cricket team are outclassed by nine wickets in their final ODI in Pakistan, losing the series 2-1 thanks to the masterful Babar Azam ...

It was a far cry from Australia's batting displays in the first two matches, when the visitors posted totals of 7-313 and 8-348 and their bowling attack was easy meat, with only Nathan Ellis's dismissal of Fakhar Zaman for 17 to cheer. When Marnus Labuschagne (four) was caught at slip in the sixth over, Australia were reeling at 3-6, which became 5-67 when in-form Ben McDermott (36) was caught at cover from a leading edge. At 8-162 in the 35th over, they had even been in danger of a lowest-ever ODI total against Pakistan until Abbott cracked six fours and one six in a late show of resistance.
