test. staying with test cricket, australia are looking to complete a 3 0 series whitewash as they take on pakistan in the final test in sydney. pakistan got off to the worst possible start on day one, losing two wickets inside the first two overs josh hazlewood and mitchell starc doing the damage. but the visitors did recover, muhammad rizwan hitting two sixes on his way to a top score of 88. australia eventually bowling them out for 313, and the hosts ended the day six without loss. novak djokovic s 43 match winning run in australia is over after he was beaten by alex de minaur in the united cup quarterfinals in perth. de minaur, the world number 12, took full advantage of an out of sorts djokovic, who s been struggling with a wrist injury, taking the first set 6 4. de minaur showed few nerves in the second as he eventually closed out the match 6 4. it s djokovic s first loss in australia since the 2018 australian open. i think i will be ok, to be honest. but it did have q
