June 5 : Pakistan tore through Australia’s middle and lower orders on their way to a four-wicket victory in the third and final one-day international in Lahore on Thursday, taking the series 2-1.
* The tourists, who won the toss and elected to bat, made 157 in 42 overs with Pakistan reaching their modest victory target with 49 balls to spare.
* Australia had looked good while Josh Inglis was at the crease. The skipper hit 65 off 71 balls to take the tourists to 119-3 but they added just 38 runs for their last seven wickets after his departure.
* Quick Shaheen Afridi (3-30) removed both openers and all-rounder Cameron Green before Pakistan’s spinners took over to mop up the Australian tail on a turning pitch.
