Shaheen Afridi to Marcus Stoinis
SIX! My word, Marcus Stoinis is hitting the ball so clean and that's a quick-fire FIFTY to boot as well. Shaheen brings out the off cutter and bowls it short around the hips, Stoinis is waiting for it and muscles it with brute force, almost into the second tier over the square leg fence and gets to his half-century.

Right then, that concludes Pakistan's white-ball tour of Australia and skipper Josh Inglis goes up to the podium to pick up the trophy and joins his teammates in celebration. Next up for Australia, it is the highly-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy which will include 5 Tests starting in Perth on the 22nd of November. Pakistan on the other hand travel to Zimbabwe for another white-ball tour beginning on the 24th of November. You can simply switch tabs and check all the fixtures and coverage. Until next time then, take care and goodbye!
