Despite a battling 65 from stand-in captain Josh Inglis and some magnificent bowling by Matt Kuhnemann, Australia were unable to stave off defeat in the deciding ODI of their three-match series in Pakistan.
Australia, who won the toss and batted first, were all out for 157 in 42 overs, their lowest ODI total in Pakistan, with Inglis lashing a stand-out 65.
But It never quite looked like being enough to seal the winner-takes-all encounter in Lahore and Pakistan eased to victory - and an overall 2-1 success - with four wickets to spare.
Inglis said: "A bit like the first game (when Australia were bowled out for 200) we were just too many runs short. I thought the bowlers and the fielding group, in particular, made a great effort to put us in a position to potentially win the game, but it wasn't to be in the end."
