      <title>Mooney stars as Australia complete whitewash against Pakistan</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30310256/mooney-stars-as-australia-complete-whitewash-against-pakistan</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistan women’s tour of Australia didn’t go as planned as the hosts completed a whitewash thanks to Beth Mooney’s century in North Sydney on Saturday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She struck 14 boundaries and four maximums for her career-best 133 as Australia registered a 101-run victory in the third and final ODI of the series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In reply to Australia’s 337-run target, Pakistan only managed to score 235/7 from their 50 overs. For Pakistan, Captain Bismah Mahroof topped the chart, scoring 44 off 71 deliveries. She struck three boundaries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall, Pakistan batters failed to maintain a run rate in their innings. Sadaf Shamas and Sidra Ameen provided Pakistan with a 61-run start. They scored 30 off 50 and 34 off 66 respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nida Dar’s run-a-ball 29 provided Pakistan’s innings a much-needed boost. But overall it was too much for the batters to handle in the end.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For Australia, Ashleigh Gardner claimed three wickets for 30, while Jess Jonassen registered the figures of 2-25.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier, Australia posted 336 for 9 after being asked to bat first. Meg Lanning capped off her series return with 72 from 70 as Australia pushed for a clean sweep.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Annabel Sutherland hit 26 from 13 before a late collapse of 3 for 1, but Australia still managed to reach their highest score on home soil this century.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scratchy at first, Mooney eventually found her touch as she unleashed on Pakistan’s attack with Tuba Hassan copping the worst of the punishment on ODI debut. The 22-year-old ended up conceding 69 runs in just six overs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mooney wasn’t alone in handing out the punishment. Lanning hit the 22-year-old into the window of the commentary box to bring up her own 50.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fatima Sana was the pick among the bowlers for Pakistan as she ended up with the figures of three for 53 from her 10-over spell.&lt;/p&gt;
