In the final one-day international held on Sunday, Australia triumphed over England by 49 runs, concluding the series with a 3-2 victory. Travis Head was instrumental in this win, excelling both with bat and ball. England appeared to be in a strong position with Ben Duckett scoring a century and partnering with Harry Brook for a formidable third-wicket partnership of 132 runs. However, as the match progressed, England's batting crumbled due to effective slow bowling, leading to a final score of 309 as they lost their last eight wickets for just 107 runs, with Head achieving his best ODI bowling figures of 4-28.

The Australian chase started energetically, with openers Matthew Short and Head putting on a quick 78 runs in just over seven overs. At the point when rain interrupted play, Australia had reached 165 for 2 in 20.4 overs, well above the target needed under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method for rain-affected matches. Steven Smith, who captained the Australian side in the absence of the injured Mitchell Marsh, remained not out on 36 when the game was halted.

Short and Head managed to take advantage of the England bowling attack, particularly focusing on Olly Stone, who replaced the rested Jofra Archer. Both short had a notable innings before being dismissed, and England's fielding struggles continued as they missed a potential catch off Josh Inglis. Earlier in the match, England began strongly with Phil Salt's aggressive 45 runs before losing pivotal wickets to Australian bowlers, with Hardie striking back effectively.

Brook's impressive form continued, having scored a match-winning century in the previous ODI, and he initially played well, but once he fell to Zampa's slower delivery, the English batting collapsed. Duckett, despite a valiant effort to reach 107, fell soon after securing his century, marking a disappointing series finale for England who were unable to capitalize on their earlier momentum.
