Australia started the series with one of its worst losses Twenty20 but ended his second win in the best format, crushing Pakistan by 94 runs in the dead rubber in Dubai. David Warner and Shane Watson set up the victory with an opening partnership of Australian Pat Cummins register before Mitchell Starc and ran through Pakistan, which suffered its worst defeat in an international T20 were all 74, his lowest total in the format .Pakistan still won the series 2-1, but if the old sports cliché you're only as good as your last performance you can trust, Australians are quite happy when they come to Sri Lanka in the coming days for the ICC World Twenty20 . The fact that Warner and Watson both shot and found his rhythm in six strokes would be especially nice for the captain George Bailey, though some races over half order would have been preferable.
Cummins was outstanding with the new ball as Pakistan slumped to 19 for 5 in the chase, and Brad Hogg is 1 to 11 - the most economical four-over spell by an Australian in a T20 international - was another positive sign for Australians. He was about to improve their T20 victory more complete, the 95-run defeat they inflicted on South Africa at the Gabba in January 2006, and was a desperately needed victory for Australia, having dropped to tenth place in ICC ranking T20.
Following 169 for a clean sweep, Pakistan simply could not get into the persecution. Imran Nazir was lbw Starc inswinger to the second one and Cummins scored two windows in the next, trapped Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik cover shot for a third ball duck for super inswinger that deflected between bat and pad.
Australia 168 for 7 (Warner 59, Watson 47, Ajmal 2-19)
Pakistan 74 (Starc 3-11, Cummins 3-15)
Result: Australia by 94 runs
