David Warner, Man of the Match: It's the home crowd, absolutely love playing here. I was quite slow tonight, but it's always special to put the boys in a great position. I probably made the catch look better. It is always good to take a great catch in the outfield.

Azhar Ali: Always tough to chase 354. In the field we missed the opportunities. It was below par, and that allowed Australia to score that amount of runs. David Warner started well. If we would have held our chances, we would have restricted them to lesser. It was a good pitch, 300 was chaseable. Against the new ball is the best way to score runs. Around 300 was chaseable, we leaked too many runs in the first half. We have a lot to play for Adelaide. We will come hard try to win the game, and finish the series on a high.

Steven Smith: Yeah, it was a good performance. We started well with the bat. David Warner was outstanding with the bat, Maxwell was outstanding, as was Head. The bowlers then backed it up. The wicket did not change much. Probably winning four tosses at a wrong time, I hope I have some luck in India as well. Australia Day is an exciting time of the year; that was almost a complete package barring a couple of errors in the field. Hopefully, we can back it up on Australia Day.

Maxwell: It was very much a convincing performance. With bat and ball we were outstanding. It wasn't a great wicket, it was slow and low. We batted on a similar wicket in the World Cup two years ago. I just hit the gaps, and I know my game is to chip the infield and hit boundaries. That partnership with Head was special and we have done it a few times together. I just wanted to get it [reverse slog-sweep] over the infield. Luckily I got it off the middle and it went for a six. I just wanted to clear 30 metres.

That is all we have for you from this game. Looking forward to your company on Australia Day for the last ODI. Goodbye and good night from myself, Varun, and Raghav.

9.50pm The celebrations begin in Australia's camp. Sharjeel Khan set off like a freight train, but the spinners - Zampa and Head - derailed him and Pakistan. Zampa showed off his range: donkey drops, quick arm-balls, and straighter ones among others. Malik and Hafeez mounted a fightback, but Pakistan did not have enough firepower in their lower middle order.

Australia's win though was set up by their batsmen - Warner hammered a hundred off 98 balls, his first against Pakistan in ODIs, Head and Maxwell then shellacked half-centuries to supercharge their team to 353. Pakistan's multiple goof-ups in the field allowed Australia to rack up a hefty total. Ultimately, it proved 86 too many for the visitors.
