With their previous 50-over series victory occurring in 2002, Pakistan defeated Australia in the third and final One-Day International on Sunday to win the three-match series. It was the first time the Green Shirts had triumphed on Australian soil in 22 years.
The Men in Green easily crossed the finish line in 26.5 overs to win the series by eight wickets, chasing Australia's modest 141-run mark.
An unaltered Pakistan held the hosts to 140 in 31.5 overs before hammering down the total with a score of 143-2, securing their first ODI series triumph in Australia in more than a decade.
In order to highlight the 50-over format's declining popularity, Australia decided to rest their red-ball players for the final.
In the first powerplay, Aaron Hardie (12) and Jake Fraser-McGurk (7) were dismissed by Pakistani fast bowlers Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah, who took three wickets each in a display of swing and pace.
After skying Naseem to keeper Mohammad Rizwan in the eleventh over, Josh Inglis, making his captaincy debut, left for seven.
