23:00 Local Time, 19:00 GMT, 00:30 IST: So near, yet so far... Australia have clinched victory from the jaws of defeat. Not for the first time, have they done that. At one point when Abid Ali and Rizwan were batting, it looked as if they'll get over the line but a procession of wickets meant the required run rate kept climbing and eventually got out of their reach. Nathan Coulter Nile bagged three wickets while Stoinis claimed two - that in the final over of the match. Pakistan have scored four centuries in this series and all of them have coming a losing cause. Australia have now won 7 ODIs on the trot - they're in red hot form. Earlier in the day, it was the innings by Glenn Maxwell that set the tone for the Aussies. The five-time World champions will now be looking forward to inflict a whitewash on Pakistan. Can they? Join us on Sunday to find that out. For now, it's a goodbye from our side.
