Well, that last ball was a bit of an anticlimax. Australia win by three wickets but it was actually a bit more comfortable than that. They were anchored by Aaron Finch with the rapid efforts of Travis Head, Josh Inglis and Marcus Stoinis ensuring the asking rate was never a problem. Pakistan paid for their middle order collapse which left them probably 20 short. The players go through the final handshakes of the tour. It's been played in fantastic spirit throughout.
Aaron Finch is player of the match. "Thought the way our bowlers attacked that game were fantastic. Nathan Ellis had a tough start but showed real character. Everything we do is one eye to the World Cup. There's been a lot of great performances on this tour and the whole Australia summer. To see so many young cricketers come on is super exciting. Glad we don't have to bowl to Babar anymore for a while."
And on that note I'll bring our coverage to a close at the end of this tour. There's been some very good cricket from both sides. Thanks for being with us over the last month and for all the comments and discussion. From Gnasher, Danyal, Alex, Peter and everyone else it's goodbye.
Can McDermott finish the job? Will be Rauf to bowl

Fasi: "Hey make that W pop up from somewhere" I keep pressing the button but nothing happens
Malik Murad: "Not a good captaincy by Babar. He brought Shaheen too late."
Babar's in some pain after that. Maybe a finger
Shaheen or bust now for Pakistan?
