Live Cricket Score of Australia vs Pakistan, 5th ODI at Adelaide

With that final wicket going down on the first ball off the final over, Pakistan's abysmal tour of Australia has come to an end. Wonder what's going on in their mind? They would be relieved to be honest, this has been nothing less than a horror and when you have only one win to show from eight games, the tour seems longer than usual.

Pakistan were never in the contest today, ever since losing their fifth consecutive toss and then were subjected to some brutal batting from David Warner and Travis Head at the top of the order. Together they put up 284 runs, the highest partnership for any wicket and ensured that they batted Pakistan out of the contest. 369 at half-time and everyone knew the result, unless there was a miracle on the way.

Sharjeel Khan got his third fifty in a row while Babar Azam brought about an amazing sense of calmness to the crease. As long as they were together at the crease, Pakistan seemed to show some stomach for a fight but once Sharjeel departed, things started to crash for the tourists. Babar Azam hung around before getting to his hundred and was dismissed immediately after getting there. The pressure of chasing a mountainous total was quite evident as every batsman who came in, tried his hand at a shot or two, only to collapse further.

With this, Australia have reversed their fortunes, especially for how depleted they were post their series against South Africa. Now they go into the Chappell-Hadlee series with rejuvenated confidence and then of course, the big daddy tour of India would be on. For Pakistan, well.. they can probably just take some time off and reflect back on what's wrong. A few drastic changes might well be around the corner, you never know!

Hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we did in bringing it to you. Until then, this is Shirshendu Roy signing off. Adios..

Cummins with the wicket now. Fires it in full and wide, only sliced to point, what a tame dismissal. Poor way to get out really. But the asking rate has rather become a demanding rate right now. Not much going Pakistan's way.

Hazlewood has two, Cummins has one, Starc has three, that makes it six out of the ten overs, all these three would make hitting very difficult, even if Umar Akmal is a superb striker of the ball.
