Australia seal one-day series

Published October 11, 2014

DUBAI: Australia continued their dominance over Pakistan with a five-wicket win in the second day-night international on Friday, taking an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Pakistan squandered an opening stand of 126 between openers Sarfraz Ahmed (65) and Ahmed Shahzad (61) and were bowled out for 215 in 49.3 overs.

Glenn Maxwell then punished the sloppy Pakistan fielding with an 81-ball 76 as Australia reached their target in 43.2 overs for their fourth consecutive one-day series win over Pakistan.
