Sydney Test: Australia down Pakistan by 220 runs, sweep series 3-0

Australia on Saturday clinched a clean sweep with an emphatic 220-run win over Pakistan in the third Test in Sydney on Saturday.

Pakistan were all out shortly before tea on the final day for 244 chasing 465 runs with paceman Josh Hazlewood and spinner Steve O’Keefe both snaring three wickets.

Pakistan’s hopes of holding out for a draw evaporated with the dismissals of leading series runscorer Azhar Ali and veteran Younis Khan before lunch.

Wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed top scored with a fighting unbeaten 72 off 70 balls.

Australia completed a series clean sweep after a 39-run win at the Gabba and an innings and 18-run victory in Melbourne.

It was Pakistan’s 12th straight defeat since their last Test win in Australia in Sydney 22 years ago.

David Warner was named man of the match for his scintillating hundred before lunch on the opening day, while skipper Steve Smith was announced as the official player of the series.

Australia tour India next month for a four-Test series, while Pakistan do not have any Tests scheduled until April, when they will tour the West Indies for a four-match series.
