SYDNEY: Australia beat Pakistan by 86 runs in the fourth ODI to win the series by 3-1 at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday.
Pakistan were bowled out at 267. Opener Sharjeel Khan hit a rapid fifty as Pakistan chased the gigantic total of 354 set by Australia. He fell to Adam Zampa with a catch at boundary but his knock of 74 saw Pakistan off to a rapid start. Malik departed for 47, Hafeez for 40 and Akmal for 11.
Captain Azhar Ali, returning from a hamstring injury to lead Pakistan once again, fell cheaply early into the innings. Azam departed for 31.
Hasan Ali claimed his career-best five-for-52 with wickets of Usman Khawaja, David Warner, captain Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell and Matthew Wade.
Warner blasted 130 while Smith went for 49, as Australia fired off to a rapid start against Pakistan.
