Pakistan picked up the last five wickets for eight runs in 7.3 overs after lunch Monday to complete a 356-run win over Australia in the second test.
Australia was bowled out for 246 runs in the second innings while chasing a target of 603 runs at Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
The victory gave Pakistan a 2-0 sweep and takes them to No. 3 in the test rankings of the ICC. It was its first series win against Australia in 20 years, and also the biggest in terms of runs, beating the previous largest margin of 341 runs against India in Karachi in 2006.
Pakistan bowler Zulfiqar Babar added two wickets Monday to finish on 5-120. He took 14 wickets in the series, the highest for both sides.
Leg-spinner Yasir Shah took three of the four wickets to fall in the post lunch session and finished on 3-44.
Pakistan captain Misbah-ul Haq had taken the new ball as soon as it was due, and straightaway handed it to his spinners Babar and Shah. The score was 229-5 at the start of the 81st over, before the spinners struck.
Starting at their overnight score of 143-4, Steven Smith and Mitchell Marsh batted confidently in the first 90 minutes of the opening session, taking the score to 208 before Marsh, who top-scored for Australia in the first innings, was the first man to go Monday.
Marsh (47) departed after putting together a partnership of 107 runs for the sixth wicket when he unnecessarily turned a delivery from Mohammad Hafeez going down the leg side into the hands of Asad Shafiq at leg slip.
The 25-year-old Smith had moved to 97 not out at lunch as Australia reached 238 for the loss of five wickets, but was out of the second ball after the break when he was leg before wicket to Shah three runs short of what would have been a fifth career century.
Apart from one half-chance, when Hafeez at long-off failed to reach a miscued lofted shot off Zulfiqar Babar with Smith on 56, the 25-year-old Australian played with utmost confidence. His 204-ball stand at the crease produced 12 boundaries.
Pakistan next plays New Zealand in a three-test match series which starts Sunday. Australia flies back home where it will take on India in December.
