A masterclass from Australia who lead the ODI series 2-0 with one match to play. The two sides head to North Sydney Oval on Saturday for the third ODI before the three-match T20I series starts next week. It will be another big challenge for Pakistan on Saturday. Hopefully they can find something. Hope you can join us then.

Darcie Brown is Player of the Match for her 3 for 32: "Obviously it's nice to get a few poles but most of all just happy to get a very convincing win today. I keep it pretty simple. I tried to keep my hand behind the ball as much as I could unlike I did last game so that's probably all that changed. It didn't swing as much. I felt like I had a bit more control this game. There wasn't as many clouds overhead and it was nice and hot which is not too bad."

Steve: "I believe this is the first ODI where Meg Lannning wasn't required to bat. " It was.

2.48pm Australia win by 10 wickets with more than 30 overs to spare. A thoroughly dominant display from Australia. Pakistan never stood a chance. Australia's bowlers were ruthless before Phoebe Litchfield and Beth Mooney stamped their authority with twin half-centuries at better than a run-a-ball to put the chase to bed in 19.2 overs. Litchfield has taken to international cricket like a duck to water while Mooney did what Mooney does. Pakistan are on a steep learning curve on this tour.

Nida Dar to Mooney, no run, Mooney is taken on the pad but it pitched outside leg with Dar bowling off spin from over the wicket. There's an appeal turned down but Dar somehow convinces Bismah to call for a review. Ball tracking had it pitching nearly a foot outside leg. Not sure why Pakistan even appealed

Ian Henshaw: "This is a ruthless display from a slick and professional Australian side... The question now for women's cricket is how best to build up the other teams for more competitive matches?" Domestic investment is the only way. Paying players as full-time professionals with good coaching and strong domestic leagues featuring quality overseas is the only way to improve depth and fast track talent.
