Pakistan 161 for 6 (Babar 40, Kuhnemann 3-38) beat Australia 157 (Inglis 65, Afridi 3-30) by four wickets

Pakistan edged home in a low-scoring tussle to secure their third straight ODI series win against Australia. They batted with grit and patience to scale the target of 158 with four wickets and 49 balls remaining on a square-turner in Lahore.

Pakistan - in a surprising move - produced spin-heavy surfaces for this series, which was supposed to test their player pool ahead of the next year's ODI World Cup in southern Africa and the pitch for the last match offered extra bite to the spinners as the ball turned and bounced sharply, making run-scoring a difficult proposition, especially during the chase.
