Earlier, Australia made 231-9 in their 50 overs after winning the toss and batting first in the third and final day-night international against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi.

Steve Smith hit a fighting 105-ball 77 and David Warner scored 56 off 63 balls to lift Australia against a spirited Pakistan bowling attack at Sheikh Zayed Stadium.

Pakistan were without their captain Misbah-ul Haq, who ruled himself out from the match because of poor form.

Australia won the first match in Sharjah by 93 runs and the second in Dubai by five wickets.
