But Australians made a great comeback today and Pakistan were 161 for loss of 6 wickets. At this stage, Kamran Akmal smashed 3 boundaries to guide Pakistan to a better end. Kamran Akmal was sent back to pavilion by Johnson when Pakistan required just 1 run to win. Umar Gull played the winning shot for Pakistan as Pakistan beat Australia after 15 years by 3 wickets.
