So, that brings an end to our today's coverage. There were plenty of fifties scored on this belter of a wicket. There was a century too; a great day for the batsmen, indeed. Anyways, it's time to bounce now. See you guys later!
22:39 Local Time, 18:39 GMT, 00:09 IST: Australia extend their winning sreak to 8 consecutive wins. They've been unstoppable in the last one month. Haris Sohail played well for his century and Imad got a quick fifty too - but yet again that didn't prove to be enough. Has been the case throughout the series. There have been plenty of individual performances but as a team, Pakistan have failed to fire. Haris Sohail, Mohammad Rizwan and Abid Ali were their top performers of this series and they're most likely to make the World Cup squad. Before the mega event, they play against England in a 5-match ODI series. Would be interesting to see whether these players perform against the number one ranked ODI team. Be wary of Australia though. They've hit a purple patch, just at the right time. They always do! Return of Warner and Smith will further strenghten their squad. Also with Khawaja, Finch and Maxwell amongst runs, the batting unit looks a settled one.
