Pakistan had earlier clinched the two-match Test series 1-0. Medium pacer Mohammad Abbas took his maiden ten-wicket haul in a match to fire Pakistan to a 373-run win over Australia in the second Test and seal the series on Friday. Abbas followed his 5-33 in the first innings with figures of 5-62 to wreck Australia for 164 after they were set a big 538-run target.
It was Australia's heaviest defeat against Pakistan, beating the 356-run hammering at this same venue four years ago.
Following the loss in the Test series, Australian skipper Tim Paine was left unimpressed with his side's performance and reckoned that they let things slip from the onset of the match. Paine said that their batting needs improvement and applauded Abbas for his prolific performance.
Australia will hope for a better show in the shorter format of the game before a long series against India next month.
