Rashid Mehmood scored twice to help Pakistan register their first win of the series after losing all three of their first round matches.
The Greenshirts lost the opening match to Australia 4-2, were crushed by England in the second match by the same scoreline and were beaten by arch-rivals India 5-2 in the third match on Saturday.
