Australia completed a clean sweep of their T20 series against Pakistan, winning the final match by seven wickets in Hobart. Marcus Stoinis played a pivotal role in the victory, showcasing his batting prowess as Australia chased down Pakistan's total of 117 runs, finishing at 118 for three. The match was marred by a hamstring injury to Glenn Maxwell, who had to leave the field after experiencing discomfort while fielding. Fortunately, he did not need to bat and is expected to have nearly a month to recover before the Big Bash League season opener for the Melbourne Stars against Perth on December 15.

Australia narrowly secured a victory against Pakistan in the first ODI at the MCG, overcoming a challenging spell from Haris Rauf. Chasing a target of 204, the Australian team found themselves in a precarious position at 139 for six in just the 21st over, as Rauf dismantled their middle order while they aimed to finish the game quickly. However, captain Pat Cummins, who scored an unbeaten 32, played a crucial role in stabilizing the innings. This match marked Cummins' return to ODI cricket following last year’s World Cup final victory. His experience proved vital as Australia managed to reach their target with 99 balls to spare, despite the early collapse. Cummins has developed a reputation as a reliable run-chaser, having been involved in several tight finishes in both Test and ODI formats over the past 18 months.
