No Glenn Maxwell<\/a>? No worries. Australia's got Marcus Stoinis<\/a> instead.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The host nation cruised home to a seven-wicket victory over Pakistan in the third T20 international\ufeff, with Stoinis dominating with bat in hand.<\/p>\n

Stoinis smacked a whopping 61 runs off just 27 balls, headlined by 10 scintillating boundaries that lit up Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Monday night.<\/p>\n

A no-ball provided Australia with the clean-sweep series victory.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Stoinis stood tall at the crease after teammate and star batter Glenn Maxwell went down with a low-grade hamstring injury<\/a> in the field\ufeff early in the match, wiping him out of the game.<\/p>\n

\"Marcus<\/p>\n

On the other end of the scale, Pakistan's nightmare T20 series ended with a miserly score of 117, bowled out in 18.1 overs after another bad patch.\ufeff<\/p>\n

It was a bowling masterclass from the Australians again, with Aaron Hardie the star of the show, taking 3-21 off four overs.<\/p>\n

It was only Babar Azam who stood tall for the visitors.<\/p>\n

However, he was forced to wander off Bellerive after a magnificent clean bowl from Adam Zampa (2-11) saw him fall for 41 off 28 in the 13th over.<\/p>\n

It's the second\ufeff time this summer that Zampa has dismissed Babar.<\/p>\n

\"Glenn<\/p>\n

Moments later, Spencer Johnson (2-24) ran out Ifran Khan (10 off eight balls) after the batting pair\ufeff miscommunicated their timing.<\/p>\n

Hardie had his second wicket just four balls later, with Abbas Afridi (1 off eight) caught on the boundary by Matt Short.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Australia looked in complete control with six overs remaining with Pakistan reeling at 7-92, before finishing off the job soon after.<\/p>\n

Jake Fraser-McGurk again failed to find his feet at the crease, notching 18 off 11 before being forced to walk again.<\/p>\n

\"Australia<\/p>\n

It was captain Josh Inglis alongside Stoinis who broke the game open with a 55-run partnership off just 38 deliveries.<\/p>\n

\ufeffThe game was put to bed as Stoinis let loose, smacking one of his five sixes onto the roof.<\/p>\n

"When he's going like that, he's really hard to stop\ufeff," Inglis said post-game on Fox Cricket.<\/p>\n

Stoinis was named player of the match for his heroic batting efforts.<\/p>\n

\"Spencer<\/p>\n

Johnson was named player of the series for his eight wickets across three matches, headlined by a five-wicket haul in Sydney.<\/p>\n

"Every opportunity to play for Australia is a good one and hopefully I can continue to do that," he said on Fox Cricket.<\/p>\n

"It's been a great week, we've had a lot of fun as a group," Inglis added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
