In a triumphant farewell to his illustrious 112-test career, David Warner powered Australia to an eight-wicket win over Pakistan in his final match on Saturday. The third and decisive test saw Warner contributing 57 runs before being declared lbw off Sajid Khan's bowling, receiving a heartfelt applause as he exited the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Needing just 11 runs to secure victory in the three-test series, Australia's only other casualty in the second innings was Usman Khawaja, dismissed lbw by Khan for a six-ball duck. Pakistan's scores of 313 and 115 were countered by Australia's 299 and 130-2, with Marnus Labuschagne (62) and Steve Smith (4) at the crease when the match concluded.

On the morning of Day 3, Josh Hazlewood's impressive 4-16 performance rattled Pakistan, leaving them with little resistance. Mohammad Rizwan (28) and Aamir Jamal (18) provided a brief partnership, but Nathan Lyon's dismissal of Rizwan at leg slip triggered a swift collapse. Lyon closed the innings with figures of 3-36, setting a 130-run target for Australia.

Acknowledging Warner's contribution, the crowd cheered as he led the team onto the field, and "Thanks Dave" adorned the ground as a tribute to his iconic leap. Australia's comprehensive victories in the first test in Perth by 360 runs and the second in Melbourne by 79 runs sealed the series triumph, marking a fitting end to Warner's remarkable test career on home soil.
