10:35 PM IST: Pakistan have won the ODI series 2-1 and the focus shifts to the T20 series now. That's it from us today, I am Ovaise Shariff signing off on behalf of my co-commentators AkashayaKrishna Polya, Ninaad Dixit and scorer/analyst Zeeshan Nayer. Join us for all the action from the T20 series starting on the 5th of April. Until then, it's Good-Bye from us.
Babar Azam collects the trophy and the celebrations begin here at Lahore. As they celebrate and they became over enthusiasts and they lose their balance and almost fell at each other.
Babar Azam | Pakistan Captain | Player of the Match and Series: "Yeah, we were talking about driving the car in the ground. See when you loss the first game, you would need some confidence going in to the next match. Credit goes to the players who stepped in and played really well to win the series. When you pick early wickets, you do well in the match. Shaheen and Haris took wickets early with the new ball. See I try to be calm and composed when I bat out there and see off the pressure from others. I try to minimize the pressure from the batters to follow when I bat. Thank you."
Babar Azam is the Player of the Series. He gets the SUV. Red coloured one and it is his favourite colour as well.
Aaron Finch | Australian Captain: "Obviously we didn't get enough runs, when you are two down with nothing on the board, it's always difficult to come back from that position. We wanted to get 260 or 270 but took too many risks in the middle and we pegged back. We didn't execute our plans with the ball but the credit has to be given to the two batters who played very well today. Travis and Ben played very well through the series, Zamapa was impressive with the ball. The crowd have been amazing and they have been very supportive throughout this tour, The focus shifts to the T20 match now"
Babar Azam is the Player of the Match.
Imam-ul-Haq is the Batter of the Match.
Haris Rauf is the Bowler of the Match.
Iftikhar Ahmed is the Best Fielder of the Match.
Sean Abbott is the Best All-Rounder of the Match.
TIME FOR THE PRESENTATION CEREMONY
Imam-ul-Haq: "Yeah, look I want thank for the almighty Allah first. My family and my team management as well. They kept the trust in me and I have performed. I am working really hard for the past one hand a half year and performing well. All thanks to Allah. Thanks to Babar as well. He is my good friend as well. I really thank Allah, because others criticize me and I can make a comeback. He gives the power for you to do your best and believe in yourselves. Last time I played a bit poorly against Bangladesh and I got criticized. See these things brings best out of me. Haha, no, not at all. I am not saying them to criticize me."
Ovaise: Pakistan won the toss and opted to bowl first. The bowling from Pakistan was sensational from the word go. Head was dismissed of the very first ball by an excellent delivery by Shaheen Afridi, Finch too was sent back to the dressing room on a duck. Australia were 0-2 in 1.1 overs. Alex Carey and Chris Green rebuilt the innings after Australia were five down for 67 but that didn't carry for too long as Green was dismissed. Carey got a fifty and Abbott hammered the bowlers all around the park towards the end and contributed with a valuable knock of 49 and took Australia beyond the 200 run mark.
There was hint of reverse and the Pakistani seamers used it to good effect. The pitch was not as good as we have seen previously in this series. Mohammad Waseem Jr and Haris Rauf picked up 3 wickets each and Shaheen Afridi chipped in with 2 wickets as well and never allowed the Australian batters to settle. Australia finished with 210 on the board.
Pakistan came out to bat and were brilliant in the powerplay, Apart from Fakhar Zaman’s wicket, Australia didn’t have much to celebrate. Zaman was dismissed on 17 after taking Pakistan off to a blistering start. Babar Azam joined Imam in the middle and the two put on a mammoth partnership and took Pakistan past the 100 and then the 200 mark. The Australian bowlers toiled hard, they tried everything at this two but nothing seemed to work, Only Nathan Ellis was able to pick up the solitary wicket.
Imam ended with 89 just 11 short of the three-figure mark, Azam on the other hand got to a magnificent century in the 36th over, the pair took Pakistan past the finishing line. The dew had kicked in and batting was a lot easier compared to the first innings. Pakistan eased towards the 211 mark, It was a very poor performance today by Australia both in the bat and in the field. Australians definitely missed a few senior players today and things could have been a lot different had Austra played with full strength, They went onto the field with a fairly in-experienced bowling line up. Pakistan have won the match by 9 wickets and have also won ODI series 2-1. We move to the T20 series now.
Akshaya: Its the first time since 2002 that Pakistan win two consecutive ODI match against Australia. And its the first time since 2002 that they won the ODI series against Australia.
37.5 M Labuschagne to Imam-ul-Haq
4 FOURRR!!!! That will do and that will do nicely for Pakistan. Tosses it fuller on the off. Imam comes down the pitch and goes over the mid on fielder for a boundary. One bounce and over the ropes. Imam goes up and over and the ball is in the air for some time but bounces well short of the long on boundary. Pakistan win the match by 9-wickets and wins the series 2-1.

37.2 M Labuschagne to Imam-ul-Haq
