Player Of The Match
  • 49.6

    SIX! Junaid Khan to Alex Carey. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Carey knew the slower one was coming, set himself early, and crushed it over the boundary for six.

    A decent total from Australia. Batting seemed to get harder, and the pitch slower, as the innings went on. Aaron Finch continued his good form with a well-made 90. Pakistan sloppy in the field once again, but much better with the ball. It should be an interesting chase coming up.

Another slower ball bouncer, which Maxwell misses, and the keeper did well to make the stop. Both batsmen initially thought about sneaking a bye, but Carey then sent Maxwell back. Too late. Direct hit from Rizwan, with Maxwell stood in the middle of the pitch.

  • 45.3

    SIX! Muhammad Hasnain to Glenn Maxwell. Short, off stump backing away hooking, well timed in the air under control over deep backward square leg for 6 runs. Quick bouncer, Maxwell flaps at the ball, and gets a good piece of it. Swiped over backward square for six. That brings up his fifty.

  • 45.2

    FOUR! Muhammad Hasnain to Glenn Maxwell. Full toss, outside off stump backing away driving, well timed past deep backward point for 4 runs. Maxwell filling his boots at the back end here. Just about gets the ball on the full, and uses the pace to guide it to the rope.

  • 45.1

    Muhammad Hasnain to Alex Carey. Back of a length, down leg side on the back foot pulling, to mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Wasim.

  • 44.4
    Muhammad Hasnain lbw b Adam Zampa 0 (1)

    OUT! L.B.W. Adam Zampa to Muhammad Hasnain. Googly length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad to. Zampa finishes things in a hurry. Wrong'un isn't picked by Hasnain, he plays down the wrong line, and the ball thumps into the back pad. Initially given not out, but the review causes it to be reversed, as all three reds come up on HawkEye.

    Australia take an unassailable 3-0 lead with two to go. Aaron Finch was once again in the runs, and Glenn Maxwell made a quick half century to boost the Australian total to a good one. Quite a slow track, that had something in it for the bowlers, and Pakistan were always behind in the run chase. Pat Cummins ripped apart the top order, and Adam Zampa cleaned up the lower half. Another impressive display by the visitors. Still a lot to think about for the hosts.

    The fourth ODI is on Friday. Will it be 4-0? Or can Pakistan show some pride?
