The Australia tour of Pakistan has been ended up successfully with a three-match Test series, three ODIs and only a T20I. After losing the ODI series against Pakistan, Australia made a strong comeback in the only T20I that they played at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore on 5th April, Tuesday.

Talking about the match, the visitors won the toss and asked the opposition to bat. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan opened the innings for Pakistan and provided a good start by adding 67 runs for the opening wicket partnership.

But after their dismissal, none of the other players even crossed the 30-run mark as Pakistan ended up the innings by posting a quite defendable total of 162 runs on the board.

Chasing the total, Australia got a good start from their openers Aaron Finch and Travis Head and the other batters have also contributed well in the middle and lower-order as well.

In the end, Australia chased down the target of 163 runs with the help of skipper Aaron Finch's crucial 55 run knocks. After winning the match, Aaron Finch has been named the Player of the Match for his vital contribution to the side.

In the post-match presentation, the right-handed batter said, "It was certainly was, the way our bowlers attacked after the start they got, such an inexperienced attack as well was fantastic. Nathan Ellis came back well after a rough start which showed his character.

Really good sign of things to come for our white-ball team. Everything we do will be with one eye on the World Cup - both in the T20 format and the ODIs," Finch was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
