6.28pm Presentation
Player of the Match and Player of the Series is Beth Mooney: "It's always nice to contribute and be part of a great series win for Australia. I'm not sure my body will forgive me tomorrow. It's nice to contribute and do something a little different to what I'm used to in this team. There's a lot of learnings for us. We'll sit down and talk about that. We'll try to execute our plans better in the T20s."
Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof: "They're a good side. Plenty of learnings for us. We wanted to check our bench strength and give some opportunities. They have a future and hopeful they can perform."
Australia captain Meg Lanning: "I thought we stuck it out really well in the field there. The wicket wasn't offering too much. Pakistan batted well. We set it up nicely with the bat which was great, which we wanted to do today. It was a nice way to finish the series."
6.24pm Australia win by 101 runs and win the series 3-0. But Pakistan did tie their highest ever ODI total against Australia. The challenge against the World Champions was just too great. Australia's bowling performance was far from polished. They delivered 25 wides. Ash Gardner was outstanding taking 3 for 30. Jess Jonassen picked up two wickets but only bowled five overs. The story of the day for Australia was Beth Mooney's 135 from 105 balls. It was an exceptional innings and it looked like she had 200 on offer before she fell.
Brad: "I'd love to see a competitive world cup instead of Australia India and England. ICC throw some coin to the emerging nations make them better "
