Australian Opener Usman Khwaja scored 62 runs and gave a strong start to the team but unfortunately half of the Aussies went back to the pavilion on the total of 140.
In the middle, Glenn Maxwell fell couple short of a century and got run out on 98, however, Alex Carey did a great job to support Maxwell and scored 55 off 67.
For Pakistan, young paceman Muhammad Hussnain, captain Imad Wasim and leggie Yasir Shah picked two-wicket each.
Earlier, Pakistan have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Australia.
With Shoaib Malik ruled out due to the elbow injury, all-rounder Imad Wasim will captain the Pakistan side against Aussies.
Left-handed batsman Saad Ali will be brought in the side in place of Shoaib Malik who suffered an injury during the third ODI.
The visitors have an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series as they defeated Pakistan in the third ODI by 80 runs in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday to win the five-match series.
The visitors would be eyeing a series whitewash to keep up their winning momentum. On the other hand, Pakistan will definitely look for a win as it will boost up their momentum before going into the 2019 cricket World Cup in May this year.
