The Sydney Test concluded with Marnus Labuschagne guiding Australia to an 8-wicket victory alongside Steven Smith. Pakistan, ending the third day with 68 runs for 7 wickets, was ultimately all out for 115 runs. This set Australia a target of 130 runs to win.
Although Australia lost the early wicket of Usman Khawaja, the Warner-Labuschenne partnership, averaging 119 runs, paved the way for victory. However, in the 25th over, Warner's departure marked a momentary setback. Labuschenne remained unbeaten with 62 runs.
Despite the efforts of Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan and Amir Jamal, who forged a 40-run partnership, their resistance crumbled as Rizwan was dismissed for 28 runs. Hazlewood and Lyon spearheaded Australia's bowling attack, with Hazlewood claiming 4 wickets for 16 runs, and Lyon securing 3 wickets for 36 runs.
