Pakistan break 20-year trail, comprehensively beat Australia

Pakistan achieved their first series win over Australia in 20 years with a thumping 356-run win in the second Test in Abu Dhabi on Monday, taking the two-match series 2-0. The elusive win lifts Pakistan to number three in International Cricket Council's Test rankings behind number one South Africa and Australia.

The defeat was Australia's third worst in all Test cricket behind their 675 run loss against England in Brisbane in 1928 and by 408 against the West Indies at Adelaide in 1980. In contrast, Pakistan registered their biggest win in terms of runs, beating their 341-run victory over India at Karachi in 2006.
