That rounds off Pakistan's tour to Australia. They won the ODI series 2-1, a pretty historic achievement but Australia hit back hard and won the T20I series 3-0. Pakistan were pretty disappointing with the bat right through and they're yet to beat Australia in Australia in T20Is. That's it from us here, take care and goodbye.

Before the start of Pakistan’s ongoing run of seven straight defeats against Australia, they had won each of the previous five completed head-to-head contests.

Marcus Stoinis | Player of the Match: Nice to get some runs, beautiful wicket. We bowled well, kept them down to a total we could chase. He's (Haris Rauf) a brilliant bowler and a brilliant player.

Josh Inglis | Australia Captain: Been a great week, had a lot of fun as a group. Really nice to get another win and go 3-0 up. When he's (Stoinis) going like that, it's really hard to stop, one of those sixes was probably the biggest I've seen. Quick flight tomorrow and then get back into things

Salman Ali Agha | Pakistan Captain: I think in the middle overs we didn't capitalize the start, we lost too many wickets. Lots of positives, the way some of the players batted and bowled, these youngsters will come good. It's a big achievement for us to win a One Day series here after 22 years, could've done better in the T20 series but we'll come back stronger. They have been amazing.

Spencer Johnson | Player of the Series: Wasn't really expecting that, good to be back in the green and gold and nice to get the series win. Every opportunity to play for Australia is a good one and hopefully I can continue to do that. It was a pretty nice wicket with the new ball.

21:40 Local Time, 10:40 GMT, 16:10 IST: Stoinis put on an entertaining show for everyone who turned up at Hobart tonight. 61* off just 27 deliveries, 5 fours and 5 sixes, he made a mockery out of this target. Either way, 118 was never going to challenge Australia. Matt Short fell early and Fraser-McGurk got off to yet another start before throwing it away. Pakistan though were never really in the game as Inglis steadied things before Stoinis took charge to decimate the bowling attack. The bowling wasn't particularly great either, there didn't seem to be any clear plans and Pakistan looked out of their depth as the carnage ensued. Australia win by 7 wickets, they had 52 balls to spare too and they seal the series 3-0.

11.3

Abbas Afridi to Stoinis, no ball, anti-climactic finish! Loopy full-toss on middle, attempted slower delivery slipped out and ended up over waist-high, Stoinis heaved it away towards deep square leg and was caught but it doesn't matter, the game is over

11.2

Abbas Afridi to Stoinis, no run, slower delivery full and wide outside off, mistimed straight back to the bowler, he had another swing at this

11.1

6

Abbas Afridi to Stoinis, SIX, high and far! Pitched up full on off-stump, right in the slot and Stoinis isn't going to miss out, he smokes it straight back down the ground for another maximum, scores level

Just 7 needed for Australia now

10.6

Shaheen Afridi to Tim David, SIX, just over the man! Full and wide outside off, Tim David reaches out and carves it uppishly towards deep point, fielder at deep backward point ran to his right and just couldn't get there, he seemed to be a few paces in too and had to run back

10.5

Shaheen Afridi to Stoinis, 1 run, low full-toss on off-stump, knocked down the ground to long-on

10.4

F

Shaheen Afridi to Stoinis, SIX, brings up 50 in style! Length delivery on middle, gentle half-tracker and it sits up nicely for Stoinis who heaves it away a long way over deep mid-wicket

10.3

4

Shaheen Afridi to Stoinis, FOUR, Stoinis is on fire! Poor delivery this because mid-off was up and he served it up full outside off, Stoinis cleared his front-leg and mowed it to the long-off ropes, just landed inside the ropes

10.2

6

Shaheen Afridi to Stoinis, SIX, sent into orbit! Full and on the pads, right in the zone for Stoinis, Stoinis picks it up and dunks it into the stands at deep backward square leg

10.2

Shaheen Afridi to Stoinis, wide, banged in short on middle, too short and it sails over
