The kangaroos posted a total of 391 in their first innings, and the Babar Azam-led Pakistan side could only post a total of 268 in the first essay. The Aussies produced another commanding performance in their second innings with the willow, and declared with their scorecard reading 227/3, with Usman Khawaja smashing a century.

The Pakistan side was set a target of 351 for victory, but they were bowled out for just 235 in their second innings, as the Aussies emerged on top. Apart from Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam, who scored half-centuries, no other Pakistan willow wielder could even cross the 30-run mark. Nathan Lyon scalped a five-wicket haul in the second innings.
