Right then, that will be it from us for this contest. We hope you enjoyed the coverage. Do join in for the third and final game of the series on Monday (November 18th) from Hobart. That match will start at 8.00 am GMT. But as you know, you can always join early for all the build-up. Until then, take care, and cheers!
Josh Inglis, Australian skipper is up for a chat. Says that they started well and top order got them to a flier. Adds that he did not think much about the dropped catch as he was in the captaincy zone. Ends by sharing that he is keen to learn about captaincy and hopefully grow.
Mohammad Rizwan, the Pakistan skipper is up for a chat. Shares that the bowlers did a good job but if they drop crucial catches, it will cost them the game. Adds that the pitch was not easy to bat. Lauds Haris Rauf for his brilliant spell and shares that they will think about the changes for the next game in the team meeting.
Spencer Johnson wins the Player of the Match award for his excellent spell. He shares that it's a dream to play for Australia and he does not take it lightly. Adds that they used the conditions well. Mentions that they didn't get it right in the first over but the communication between the three pacers helped them get over the line.
Time for Presentations...
Adam Zampa is in for a chat. He says that it was a great night at the SCG. Adds that the atmosphere is one of the best in the country. Mentions that a lot of their games here feels like away games. Lauds Xavier Bartlett and Spencer Johnson for their impressive bowling spells and shares that the guys in the squad have done well in the Big Bash and credits the side for putting up an excellent show.
For Australia, Spencer Johnson was the pick of the bowlers as he got a five-wicket haul and bowled with raw pace and aggression. Adam Zampa and Xavier Bartlett bowled tidy spells and played their part to perfection. Earlier today, Australia batted first and posted a sub-par score of 147 for 9 with Matthew Short, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Glenn Maxwell, and Aaron Hardie getting starts but failing to carry on. After getting off to a flier, the Pakistani bowlers pulled things back nicely and restricted the run-scoring with regular wickets. Haris Rauf was the pick of the bowlers for the visitors with 4 for 22 in his spell while Abbas Afridi and Sufiyan Muqeem also did a tidy job. Australia will be delighted with the series win while Pakistan will look to finish their tour on a high in the last game of the series.
A clinical all-round performance from Australia sees them defeat Pakistan by 13 runs to take the series with a game to go. Chasing 148 for the win, Pakistan started poorly and were reduced to 44 for 4 in the tenth over. Irfan Khan and Usman Khan batted nicely and added a 58-run stand for the fifth wicket to get the visitors back in the game but Usman Khan departed soon after reaching his fifty and it opened the gates for Australia. Irfan Khan fought with a valiant 37* but the lower-order batters departed in a jiffy and the Aussies won convincingly in a topsy-turvy clash.

Nathan Ellis To Irfan Khan OUT!
RUN-OUT! A MIX-UP AND GONE! All over for Pakistan. Full toss outside off. Irfan Khan swats it away towards long-on and dashes for a single. Rauf tries to steal a second and takes off but Irfan sends him back. However, it was too late by then as the sweeper in the deep collected the ball and threw it flat to the keeper who whipped off the bails to wrap up the game. Australia win this game by 13 runs and take an unsurpassable lead in the series.
