Australia won the match with 7 wickets, a big part of which was won by Marcus Stoinis.
What a run it has been from Stoinis, who gets the job done in 11.3 overs. The man-of-the-hour pocketed 61 runs from 27 balls at the end of the match. He's bagged five 4s and as many 6s. After the score equalled at 117, the match ended in a weird way with a no ball which if stood, could've been the one that took Stoinis out. Unfortunately for Pakistan, that saw Australia bag this innings.
Pakistan 118/3 in 11.3 overs (Marcus Stoinis 61* Tim David 7*)
Australia are already crossed more than halfway in this game and Stoinis is not horsing around it seems. The man has taken two 6s and two 4s in the 9th over alone, hitting the ball at a whopping 151km/h rate to 104m away, right to the roof, no less. What an over for Australia!
Australia 79/2 in 9 overs Marcus Stoinis 37* John Inglis 22*
Another fruitful few overs for Pakistan. They've taken out Jake Fraser-McGurk and in 4th over and Stoinis came in 4th. It hasn't gone too bad for Australia either as they already have 43 runs with the powerplay over.
Australia 43/2 in 6 overs Marcus Stoinis 7* John Inglis 16*
It has been an event first few overs in this game. Australia already with five 4s and Pakistan also claim their first one as Matt Short walks off with 2 runs from 4 balls to his name. Not impressive from Short as Inglis takes over with the 3rd over down.
Australia 25/1 in 3 overs Jake Fraser-McGurk 18* John Inglis 5*
The match resumes with Matt Short and Jake Fraser-McGurk on the ground for Australia to bat and Afridi bowling for the first over.

Pakistan were bowled out for just 117 in their innings, struggling against Australia's bowlers. Despite a solid start from Babar Azam (41), the middle order faltered, and wickets fell at regular intervals.
Shaheen Afridi's cameo (16) and late runs from Irfan Khan (10) were not enough to recover from earlier collapses. Agha Salman (1), Usman Khan (3), and Agha Salman's men failed to offer substantial resistance.
The tail also fell quickly, with Sufiyan Muqeem (1) being the final wicket to fall. Pakistan's batting crumbled under pressure, leaving them all out in 18.1 overs.
Pakistan 117/10 in 18.1 overs (Babar Azam 41, Aaron Hardie 3/21 Adam Zampa 2/11)
ALL OUT! Pakistan were bowled out for 117 as Sufiyan Muqeem was dismissed by Spencer Johnson. Muqeem attempted a defensive shot to a full delivery but was bowled, ending his brief stay at the crease for just 1 run off 3 balls.
With his dismissal, Pakistan's innings came to a close. Haris Rauf was left unbeaten on 0, as Pakistan's lower order crumbled under pressure.
Pakistan 117/10 in 18.1 overs
Pakistan lost their 9th wicket as Jahandad Khan was caught in the deep by Marcus Stoinis off Nathan Ellis. Khan tried to drive a full-length delivery on leg stump but mistimed it, resulting in an easy catch at deep square leg.
His departure for 5 (10 balls) left Pakistan with only Haris Rauf and Sufiyan Muqeem remaining at the crease
Pakistan 117/9 in 17.5 overs Haris Rauf 0* Sufiyan Muqeem 1*
CAUGHT BEHIND! Shaheen Afridi's cameo came to a disappointing end after he had hit two boundaries and a six. Facing Xavier Bartlett, Afridi attempted a pull shot to a short ball, but it was a miscue, and he was caught by Josh Inglis at deep square leg.
His departure for 16 (12 balls) marks the entrance of tailender Haris Rauf on the crease
Pakistan 116/8 in 17 overs Jahandad Khan 5* Haris Rauf 0*
4,4! Shaheen Afridi came to life in the 16th over, hitting back-to-back boundaries off Aaron Hardie. The first was a crisp shot to third man, followed by a leg-side strike that found the boundary.
These runs are vital as Pakistan crossed the 100-run mark, with Afridi's quick-fire shots offering some resistance. Hardie struggled with no-balls and wides in this over and Afridi capitalised, ensuring Pakistan added some much-needed runs to their total.
Pakistan 108/7 in 16.1 overs Shaheen Afridi 9* Jahandad Khan 4*
Abbas Afridi's attempt to accelerate Pakistan's innings ended in disaster as he was caught out while trying to slog a good length delivery from Aaron Hardie. Afridi misjudged the shot, skying it to long-on where Matthew Short took a comfortable catch. This was the second wicket in the over, further deepening Pakistan's batting collapse!
Pakistan 93/7 in 14.3 overs Shaheen Afridi 0* Jahandad Khan 1*
RUN OUT! Pakistan lose their last recognised batter in Irfan Khan! His departure was a costly one for Pakistan, as he was run out due to a mix-up with Abbas Afridi. Irfan, who had been batting well at 10(8), was left stranded halfway down the pitch after Abbas hesitated on a single, allowing Spencer Johnson to execute a straightforward run-out!
Pakistan 92/7 in 13.3 overs Abbas Afridi 1* Shaheen Afridi 0*
OUT!Babar Azam failed to convert a solid start into a big innings, falling to an excellent yorker from Adam Zampa. Babar, who had been steady at 41(28), stepped out for a big shot but was bowled!
Pakistan 92/5 in 13 overs Irfan Khan Niazi 10* Abbas Afridi 1*
Babar Azam and Irfan Khan are relying on quick running between the wickets to keep the scoreboard ticking as they attempt to steady Pakistan's innings.
Irfan found the boundary for the first time with a pull shot for four, off Spencer Johnson. Both are looking to rotate strike, as Pakistan struggles to recover from earlier wickets. Nathan Ellis and Spencer Johnson have been the key bowlers for the opposition.
Pakistan 89/4 in 12 overs Babar Azam 40* Irfan Khan Niazi 9*
LBW! Agha Salman's poor run continues as he's dismissed LBW by Hardie for just 1 off 9 balls. This marks yet another top-order collapse for Pakistan, who are struggling to maintain a steady partnership after setbacks post powerplay! Irfan Khan Niazi is the new batter in at No. 6
Pakistan 72/4 in 10 overs Babar Azam 32* Irfan Khan Niazi 1*
OUT! Usman Khan (3) fell to Aaron Hardie in the next over, caught by Nathan Ellis after mistiming a slower delivery for 2 runs. Pakistan's top-order has crumbled once again, and stand-in captain Agha Salman is the new batter
Pakistan 66/3 in 8 overs Babar Azam 28* Agha Salman 1*
OUT! Adam Zampa made an immediate impact by dismissing Haseebullah Khan for 24. The googly tempted Haseebullah, who mistimed a shot to backward point, where Matthew Short took the catch. Usman Khan came to the crease and scored a single while pacer Aaron Hardie bowls from the other end
Pakistan 64/2 in 7.2 overs Babar Azam 26* Usman Khan 3*

Pakistan 58/1 in 6 overs Babar Azam 24* Haseebullah Khan 23*
4,4,4! Babar Azam took full advantage of Marcus Stoinis' line and length, hammering three consecutive boundaries. First, he thrashed a full delivery through cover, followed by a solid pull shot behind square off a back-of-length delivery.
Babar then waited for a short ball outside off and guided it past short third for his third four of the over. While Haseebullah Khan added a quick single, the over yielded 16 runs
Pakistan 46/1 in 5 overs Babar Azam 22* Haseebullah Khan 12*
Pakistan managed to find some rhythm with two key boundaries. Haseebullah Khan, after struggling with some tight deliveries, found his groove with a top-edged pull for four, despite not being fully in control.
Earlier, he had driven beautifully through the off-side for another boundary. While Pakistan's scoring rate remains relatively low, they must be relieved that they haven't lost a string of wickets as they have in earlier matches
Pakistan 30/1 in 4 overs Babar Azam 10* Haseebullah Khan 11*
OUT! Spencer Johnson struck early! Dismissing Sahibzada Farhan for 9 (caught by Bartlett at midwicket) off a short delivery that was pulled poorly after a straight drive for a boundary!
Replaces him on the crease is Haseebullah Khan, promoted up the order, joined Babar Azam at the crease. Khan faced a few deliveries, managing to get off the mark with a single to backward square leg.
Pakistan 18/1 in 2 overs Babar Azam 8* Haseebullah Khan 1*
A positive start for Pakistan as 10 runs come off the first over, including a drive by Babar Azam to the square leg boundary as Bartlett made the mistake of bowling on the pads.
Left-arm pacer Spencer Johnson bowls the second over and Babar Azam takes him for three runs after driving a fuller delivery through the cover region!
Pakistan 13/0 in 1.2 overs Shahibzada Farhan 5* Babar Azam 8*
The match is underway with right-arm pacer Xaviert Bartlett starting with the new ball while Shahibzada Farhan and Babar Azam open the innings
Pakistan 0/0 in 0.1 over Shahibzada Farhan 0* Babar Azam 0*

With the series already in the bag, following a 29-run victory in the second T20I, the hosts will be aiming to build momentum ahead of bigger challenges.
Pakistan, on the other hand, will be determined to avoid a whitewash and redeem themselves after a disappointing loss. The Aussies were propelled to victory in the second match, despite posting a modest total of 147/9. Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short made crucial contributions early in the innings with knocks of 20 and 32, while Aaron Hardie played a pivotal cameo of 28 runs to push Australia past the 140-run mark.
The Pakistani bowlers, led by Abbas Afridi, bowled well to keep Australia in check, with Afridi picking up key wickets. Spencer Johnson was the standout performer with the ball, claiming a match-winning 5/26, which put Australia in control and helped restrict Pakistan's chase.
Pakistan's response faltered under pressure, losing early wickets. Babar Azam and Sahibzada Farhan's dismissals left the team struggling at 17/2. Despite some resistance from Usman Khan, who top-scored with a resilient 52, and Irfan Khan, who contributed 37, Pakistan fell short by 13 runs, finishing at 134/7. Spencer Johnson's breakthrough spell, including the crucial wicket of Usman Khan, ultimately dashed Pakistan's hopes.
Australia will rely heavily on their all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who has been in brilliant form with the bat, scoring 64 runs across the two matches. Maxwell, along with the dynamic Matthew Short and the reliable Tim David, will be key in setting a strong target. On the bowling front, Adam Zampa and Spencer Johnson have been instrumental, with Zampa's spin and Johnson's pace providing Australia with the perfect blend of attacking options.
For Pakistan, Usman Khan, who has been in good touch with 56 runs in the series, will need to continue his fine form if Pakistan hopes to challenge Australia. Pakistan's bowlers, including Haris Rauf and Abbas Afridi, will also play an important role in limiting the Aussie batters, with Rauf's pace and Afridi's seam movement being crucial weapons in the contest.
With Australia expected to win the toss, the conditions at Hobart's Bellerive Oval will likely suit the batsmen, with both teams needing to adapt quickly to the surface. Fans can expect an exciting contest as Australia seeks a series sweep and Pakistan aims to salvage pride in their final opportunity of the tour.
