Clint McKay has been named as the Man of the Match for taking four wickets. |

The pitch was an interesting one, not a traditional fast bouncy Perth pitch but looked like a pitch that was aging like a grandma. Strokeplaying wasn't all that easy which was the reason why this match went all the way to the wire despite the target being just 213. |
|
So Australia complete a 5-0 cleansweep on Pakistan, not to forget that they also cleanswept the Test Series 3-0. They surely had to fight hard to win this final ODI with Pakistan playing for pride. Afridi led his team well but they could have done a lot better with the bat to begin with. |
