Rampaging Australia maul Pak

After drubbing the visitors 3-0 in the Test series, the hosts now lead the ODIs 4-0 with the final match to be played at Perth on Sunday.

Spurred by half-centuries from Michael Hussey (67) and Nathan Hauritz (53 n.o.), Australia posted a challenging 277 for eight in 50 overs.

Pace bowler Ryan Harris then tore through the Pakistani batting with a second successive five-for as the World T20 champions collapsed to 142 all out in 37.5 overs. Harris picked up five for 19 to walk away with a second man-of-the-match award in as many matches.
