It’s been a weird series, in how the Aussies won the first 2 pretty easily and then lost the last 3 just as badly.

Australia’s international playing kit will incorporate First Nations artwork across all formats for both men’s and women’s teams in landmark new designs unveiled today.
The Asics kit, to be worn for the next two home summers, includes the Walkabout Wickets artwork designed by Aunty Fiona Clarke on the side panels of the shirts.
And Australia has done away with the black kit for T20 internationals and will now wear green, the first time the side has worn a green uniform in the shortest format.
The kits are almost identical across the genders, but there are subtle differences – notably the men’s T20 kit is collarless, but the women’s does feature a more traditional look with a collar.
The men’s team uniform is conspicuous for the current absence of a sponsor for the shirt fronts, with Cricket Australia in the market for that lucrative piece of real estate across all formats.
Commonwealth Bank remains a principal sponsor of the women’s cricket team.
All eight Big Bash clubs will be sporting fresh threads this summer following the release of Nike’s new kits

The Big Bash Leagues are set to light up the summer with each club’s playing top featuring a speckled design above a range of colour gradients.
