| 1.6 : 1.6: M Amir to D Warner, FOUR! Pitched up and Warner gets back to his best as he leans forward and drives it through the long off region for a boundary. Such gorgeous timing. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: M Hafeez to D Warner, FOUR! TOP SHOT! Tossed up outside off, Warner stays in his crease and hoists that one over the cover region. That's a boundary and Warner has started to get a move on. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: M Amir to U Khawaja, FOUR! SUCH GOOD TIMING AND PLACEMENT! Angling into the body, Khawaja stays in his crease and glances it through the mid-wicket region. Once it crosses the infield it was always going for a boundary. Imad Wasim could have done better. Four runs. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: M Amir to U Khawaja, FOUR! CLIPPED! Length ball into the stumps, a slight shuffle from Khawaja and he clips it through the mid-wicket region for a boundary. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: J Khan to D Warner, FOUR! PIERCED! Angling into the body, Warner angles his bat and slices it through the cover region for a boundary. He made it look so easy. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: J Khan to D Warner, FOUR! GOOD SHOT! Length ball outside off, Warner waits for it and cuts it elegantly through the point region for the second boundary of the over. Warner is looking alarming for Pakistan. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: M Amir to D Warner, SIX! THAT'S GONE THE DISTANCE! Short ball into the body, Warner pounces on it and pulls it. The ball does not make great contact with the meat of the bat but it is still enough to cross the ropes. That's brutal from Warner. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: J Khan to D Warner, FOUR! WIDTH AND WARNER SAYS THANK YOU! Outside off, Warner cuts it elegantly through the point region for a boundary. Every fielder could just stand and applaud there. Warner is cruising with the bat. |
| 10.1: J Khan to D Warner, FOUR! WHAT TIMING! Good length delivery outside off, Warner stays deep in his crease and just guides it past the point region. The perfect timing made it difficult for any fielder to stop that ball. Warner is having his day once again at the SCG. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: H Ali to U Khawaja, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Length ball outside off, Khawaja goes for a drive but this time does not middle it. The ball catches the outside edge of the bat and goes behind the stumps for a catch. Rizwan dives to his left and gathers it. Ali has drawn first blood out here. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: H Ali to S Smith, FOUR! FORM CONTINUES! Seems like he is continuing from where he left at last time. Bowled on the pads, Smith clips it through square leg to get off the mark with a boundary. |
| 21.2 : 21.2: J Khan to D Warner, FOUR! Great shot from David Warner. He finds the gap and finds the boundary too. Fuller outside off, the southpaw drives it off the middle right through the covers. It rockets away to the fence. Beautifully played, that. |
| 22.2: M Hafeez to D Warner, FOUR! Excellent from David Warner. He kneels down to this tossed up delivery and sweeps it through backward square leg for a boundary. |
| 22.3 : 22.3: M Hafeez to D Warner, FOUR! Hafeez drags the length back on this and bowls this short, it's on the stumps as Warner rocks back to this. Muscles the pull over mid-wicket and sends it across the rope for back-to-back boundaries. |
| 24.6 : 24.6: I Wasim to S Smith, FOUR! Tossed up on the pads, Smith brings out the paddle and the ball goes towards backward square leg for a boundary. |
| 26.3 : 26.3: I Wasim to S Smith, FOUR! PIERCED! Short outside off, Smith waits deep in his crease to cut it through the point fielder for a boundary. No use running behind that one. |
| 27.1 : 27.1: S Malik to S Smith, FOUR! TIMING AND PLACEMENT! Short and outside off, Smith again cuts it elegantly through the point region for a boundary. |
| 28.1: I Wasim to S Smith, FOUR! Straying on the pads, Smith brings out his broom and sweeps it through the square leg region for a boundary. |
| 31.4 : 31.4: M Amir to D Warner, FOUR! WHAT-A-COMEBACK SHOT! Short into the body, Warner pulls it really hard through the mid-wicket region for a boundary. That was brutally hit. |
| 34.2 : 34.2: I Wasim to D Warner, SIX! That was coming! Short into the stumps, Warner stays in his crease and lofts it over mid-wicket for a biggie. That's gone the distance. |
| 35.1 : 35.1: H Ali to D Warner, FOUR! It's too straight and it's been punished. Hasan Ali bowls this on middle and Warner dispatches this wonderfully. Whips it powerfully through mid-wicket and picks up a boundary. |
| 35.3 : 35.3: H Ali to D Warner, OUT! Finally Pakistan take a catch and it's a good one by Mohammad Rizwan. It's fired on a fuller length well outside off, Warner backs away as he makes some room for himself and looks to smash it through the off side. Ends up getting an edge which flies behind. Rizwan dives low to his left and takes an excellent catch. Another wicket down and it's an important one for Pakistan. |
| 35.5 : 35.5: H Ali to S Smith, OUT! HE'S GONE! Hasan Ali with his second of the over. He's dismissed the two big fishes in the space of 3 balls. He comes running in and angles in a length ball on middle and leg, Smith shuffles too far across to flick it away but misses and is rapped on the pads. The visitors go up in a loud appeal and this time the umpire raises his finger. Smith isn't convinced though and after speaking with his partner, reviews the decision. The replays show the ball to be clipping |
| 38.1 : 38.1: I Wasim to G Maxwell, SIX! HERE COMES THE BIG SHOW! Maxwell changes his stance and Wasim fires it on the stumps. Maxwell gets under it and reverse sweeps it for a biggie. He cannot connect the normal shots well but he has timed this well to perfection. |
| 40.5 : 40.5: I Wasim to G Maxwell, FOUR! MAXY ACT! Tossed up and Glenn hammers it down the ground over the bowler's head for a boundary. Sheer brute force here. |
| 40.6 : 40.6: I Wasim to G Maxwell, FOUR! INNOVATIVE! Full toss outside leg, Big Show again brings out his reverse sweep this time over the point fielders for a boundary. Are we up for a Maxwell show today? |
| 41.6: M Hafeez to T Head, SIX! POWERFUL! Tossed up outside off, Head goes for a biggie this time. He has hoisted that one over the mid-wicket region. That ball went some distance. |
| 42.5 : 42.5: M Amir to T Head, FOUR! Back of a length around off, Head hangs back and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 43.4 : 43.4: J Khan to T Head, SIX! That's a clean strike! Fuller length ball on the stumps, Travis Head gets underneath this and slogs it high over mid-wicket. Sends it sailing into the stands for a maximum. |
| 44.1 : 44.1: M Amir to G Maxwell, FOUR! Back of a length around off, Maxwell stands tall and smacks it over Amir's head to send it across the boundary line. Powerfully hit. |
| 44.4 : 44.4: M Amir to G Maxwell, FOUR! It's in the air but it's just wide of the diving Pakistan captain. Maxwell lofts this to the left of Azhar Ali at mid off. Azhar dives full stretch to his left but the ball just beats him. Races away to the fence for a boundary. |
| 45.4: J Khan to T Head, SIX! Travis Head has really got a hold of that, hasn't he? It's in the slot for him and he's not going to miss out on it. Stands his ground and slogs it well over the mid-wicket boundary for half a dozen. |
| 46.1 : 46.1: M Amir to T Head, FOUR! THAT'S CRUNCHED! It's too full and well outside off, Head nails the cover drive and gets it in the gap. Sends it all the way to the boundary line for a boundary. |
| 46.2 : 46.2: M Amir to T Head, SIX! Seeing Head walk down the track, Amir shortens the length but Travis doesn't care. He muscles the pull shot over the mid-wicket boundary for a biggie. Brings up his fifty with that and the 100-run stand is up as well. |
| 46.3 : 46.3: M Amir to T Head, OUT! This time the catch is taken. Think we need to put it out in the press. Short and on the body. Head pulls it over square leg but he doesn't get the distance on it. It's straight down the throat of Shoaib Malik who shows his teammates how a catch is taken. A good, brisk knock from Travis Head comes to an end. |
| 48.2 : 48.2: J Khan to G Maxwell, FOUR! Great use of the wrists from Maxwell. He brings that bottom hand into play and flicks it over square leg. Gets a boundary to his name as he does so. |
| 48.5 : 48.5: J Khan to G Maxwell, FOUR! That's a ridiculous shot. Yorker from Junaid, well outside off, Maxwell makes room and squeezes it out behind square on the off side. Gets it over point and picks up a boundary. |
| 48.6 : 48.6: J Khan to G Maxwell, FOUR! BANG! Goes for the yorker but misses his mark completely. Ends up bowling a full toss around off and it's hit down to long off. Too powerful a hit and it goes across the rope. |
| 49.1 : 49.1: H Ali to M Wade, OUT! Full on middle and off, Wade looks to clear the long on fence. Doesn't exactly get underneath it and ends it lofting it straight into the hands of Imad Wasim who makes no mistake in taking it. |
| 49.2 : 49.2: H Ali to G Maxwell, FOUR! Another misfield, this time it's by Shoaib Malik. Atrocious. Short and around off, Maxwell pulls it down to long on. There was no pressure whatsoever at all but Malik still lets it go through. Boundary! |
| 49.4 : 49.4: H Ali to G Maxwell, FOUR! Poor line and it's been punished. On the pads, Maxwell clips it past the diving short fine leg fielder for a boundary. |
| 49.5 : 49.5: H Ali to G Maxwell, FOUR! Full around off, it's lofted back over the bowler's head for the third boundary of the over. |
| 49.6 : 49.6: H Ali to G Maxwell, OUT! Sharjeel Khan finally takes a catch but it's a little too late. Hasan Ali picks up a 5-fer. Full on the stumps, Maxwell whips this over square leg. But it's straight into the hands of Sharjeel who somehow manages to hold on to this one. So, with that, AUSTRALIA FINISH ON 353/6! |
| 0.5 : 0.5: M Starc to S Khan, EDGED AND FOUR! Sharjeel Khan gets an outside edge through the slip cordon for a boundary towards third man. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: M Starc to S Khan, FOUR! Length ball outside off, Khan drives it firmly through the mid off region for a boundary. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: J Hazlewood to A Ali, FOUR! TOP SHOT! Sprayed on the pads, Ali flicks it through the square leg region for a boundary. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: J Hazlewood to A Ali, OUT! Hazlewood gets the first wicket! Length ball outside off, Ali goes for a drive but the ball catches an outside edge. Smith at second slips clasps it towards his left. That just stayed in his hands. The captain has to go back without causing any damage. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: M Starc to S Khan, FOUR! TOP SHOT! Length ball outside off, Khan takes the aerial route as he has lofted that over the cover region for a boundary. First boundary for Sharjeel. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: J Hazlewood to B Azam, FOUR! Top shot! Fuller outside off, Babar comes forward and nicely drives it through the cover region for a boundary. Superb shot to get off the mark. |
| 4.1: M Starc to B Azam, EDGED AND FOUR! Inswinging delivery from outside off, Babar goes for a drive and the ball flies after catching the outside edge over the slip cordon for a boundary. Smith standing at second slip, leaped full stretch but could not reach it. Not that high but still safe and Azam is happy with the runs. |
| 5.1: J Hazlewood to S Khan, SIX! KABOOM! Length ball outside off, Sharjeel goes through with his shot. He just lofts the ball elegantly over the bowlers head towards mid on for a biggie. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: J Hazlewood to S Khan, FOUR! Short into the body, Sharjeel pulls it through the long leg region for a boundary. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: J Hazlewood to B Azam, FOUR! ROLL ON THE CAMERAS! Good length delivery on the stumps, Azam stays in his crease and just pushes it straight down the ground elegantly for a boundary. That was a delight for the eyes. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: J Hazlewood to S Khan, EDGED AND FOUR! Good length delivery and Sharjeel tries to force it through the off side. He gets an outside edge which goes for a boundary. Way wide for the keeper. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Pat Cummins to B Azam, FOUR! Short delivery outside off, Azam cuts it beautifully through the point region for a boundary. He is playing some really beautiful strokes. |

| 13.3 : 13.3: T Head to S Khan, SIX! Floated up, Sharjeel hoists it over the long on region for a boundary. That's a beautiful stroke. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: T Head to B Azam, OUT! Another wicket goes! Tossed on the stumps, Babar gets down to slog sweep it over the mid-wicket region for a biggie. But he does not find the desired contact and mistimes it towards wide of long on. Hazlewood covers some distance to his right and takes a fine. Azam was looking good but he has to go back without causing much damage. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: A Zampa to S Khan, FOUR! That was in the air for a long while but it fell just short of the fielder. Sharjeel rocks back and pulls it over mid-wicket. Travis Head runs inside and dives to try and catch it but it falls just short of him. Goes through and that will be a boundary. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: A Zampa to S Khan, FOUR! Tossed up from Zampa, Sharjeel drives it through extra cover. Pat Cummins dives and tries to stop it but it goes through him, should have done better there. Another boundary. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: T Head to S Khan, SIX! BRUTE FORCE! Short and on the stumps, Sharjeel stays in his crease and muscles it over the mid-wicket region for a maximum. Can Sharjeel continue this way? |
| 15.3 : 15.3: T Head to S Khan, FOUR! Tossed up outside off, Sharjeel tries to cut the ball and finds his outside edge going past the keeper for a boundary through the third man region. A fielder gave it a chase but could not save it. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: T Head to S Khan, FOUR! AGAIN AN EDGE! Floated and Sharjeel goes for a powerful drive which catches the outside edge. The ball flies away to the ropes through the short third man region. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: A Zampa to S Khan, OUT! DAVEY GETS IN THE ACT! Tossed up on the stumps, in the slot for Sharjeel to hit. He goes to slog it over the mid-wicket region for a biggie but cannot find the desired contact. The ball in the air and there comes the centurion who runs to his right to cover some distance and take a beautiful catch at the boundary. A big wicket for the Aussies as Sharjeel looked settled for a big one. 235 needed off 199 balls. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: A Zampa to M Hafeez, SIX! WHAT-A-SHOT! Tossed up, Hafeez goes for a slog sweep with extreme precision. Finds the perfect length and the ball covers the perfect distance. |
| 20.1 : 20.1: M Starc to M Hafeez, FOUR! That's a beautiful strike. Full delivery just around off, Mohammad Hafeez with the full face of the bat drives this straight back down the ground. Pat Cummins chases it down from mid off but the quick outfield sees the ball win the race. |
| 22.3 : 22.3: M Starc to M Hafeez, FOUR! Impeccable timing on that shot. It's short, wide with width on offer. Mohammad Hafeez hangs back and cuts it through covers, beating David Warner out in the deep for a boundary. Super shot. |
| 23.6 : 23.6: T Head to M Hafeez, FOUR! Great batting from The Professor. Sees mid off inside the ring and goes after it. Comes down the track and lofts it over the fielder there, clearing the infield with ease. Gets a boundary to his name. |
| 26.6: Pat Cummins to S Malik, FOUR! Shot. Short and wide outside off, Malik cuts this away past point for a boundary. |
| 29.6: A Zampa to M Hafeez, OUT! The Professor's class has to come an end. Tossed up on middle and off, Hafeez kneels down and slog sweeps it over mid-wicket. It doesn't go all the way and it's straight down Faulkner's throat in the deep. The substitute does well to settle himself under the ball and take a very good catch. Pakistan need 171 more runs to win off 120 balls. |
| 35.4 : 35.4: T Head to S Malik, SIX! Tossed up outside off, Malik dances down the track and hoists this straight down the ground. That went high in the air. Maxwell on the boundary dives outside to reach for it but cannot get his hand to it. That's a maximum. |
| 35.5 : 35.5: T Head to S Malik, OUT! SUPER WARNER IS BACK IN THE ACT! Tossed outside off, Malik goes for a slog sweep but does not get the desired connection. The ball is in the air... and Warner comes running from deep mid-wicket towards his left for a diving catch. Everything what happens today, seems like Davey is involved. Pakistan are struggling now. |
| 36.4 : 36.4: M Starc to U Akmal, OUT! BYE BYE AKMAL! Short and wide outside off, Akmal goes to pull it from wide outside off. The ball takes the top edge and balloons. Pat Cummins at short fine leg takes an easy catch at short fine leg. They just have 3 wickets left. |
| 37.6 : 37.6: J Hazlewood to M Rizwan, FOUR! Short and wide outside off, Rizwan relishes the width and lashes onto it. The ball goes towards the third man fence for a boundary. |
| 39.1 : 39.1: Pat Cummins to I Wasim, FOUR! Slower short ball, Wasim pulls it through the square leg region for a boundary. Pakistan need more of these. |
| 40.3 : 40.3: A Zampa to M Rizwan, OUT! ZAMPA STRIKES! The young leggie bowls it flatter and shorter on the stumps, it skids off the surface a bit as Rizwan goes back to play at it. He is caught on the pads and the umpire raises his finger in response to the lbw appeal. Rizwan however opts for the review but it's in vain. Replays show the ball to be hitting the stumps. He's gone. |
| 41.3: Pat Cummins to M Amir, FOUR! Shot. Mohammad Amir is going to play his natural game no matter what the situation. He lofts this over the covers and sends it across the rope for a boundary. |
| 41.5 : 41.5: Pat Cummins to M Amir, OUT! Cummins draws the edge and that's been taken comfortably. It's on a length well outside off, Amir makes some room and looks to go over the off side. Only manages to get a faint edge which is taken by the keeper easily. |
| 42.3 : 42.3: A Zampa to I Wasim, FOUR! Imad Wasim gets low to this fuller ball, positions himself early and reverse sweeps it through backward point for a boundary. |
| 43.4 : 43.4: J Hazlewood to I Wasim, OUT! CHANCES ARE DIMINISHING! Length ball outside off, Wasim shuffles across and tries to play the scoop shot. He is nowhere in control of the shot and the ball gets a thin edge and goes straight in the hands of the keeper. Matthew Wade gets his 100th catch. |
| 43.5 : 43.5: J Hazlewood to J Khan, OUT! AUSTRALIA WIN BY 86 RUNS! Full delivery which swings in a bit, Junaid has his defence all over the place as the stumps are castled. It was a terrific delivery to end the match and seal the series in favour of the hosts. |
