Australia whitewashed Pakistan by 5-0 in ODI series

Australia streaks to 8 consecutive wins being unstoppable for the past one month now. They made  Pakistan bite dust in their own backyard (Dubai).  The 20-run victory in the fifth and final One-Day International sealed a whitewash. Pakistan once again fell short of target despite a brilliant hundred from Haris Sohail in Dubai on Sunday
Australia's revival couldn't have been more perfectly timed as they defend their World Cup title in England in two months. It gives them a sixth successive series win over Pakistan since losing in 2002 (in Australia) and fourth whitewash over their opponents -- 1998 (3-0 in Pakistan), 2010 (5-0 in Australia) and in 2014 (3-0 in United Arab Emirates).
 
The form resurgence can be seen clearly, as Australia returns to its Champions image after a long time. Especially after the ball-tampering episode followed by a ban on Steve Smith and David Warner.
