At the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground, Australia clinched victory against Pakistan on the fourth day of the third Test. The Aussies, chasing a modest target of 130, secured an eight-wicket win after bundling out Pakistan for 115 in their second innings.

David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne emerged as the heroes of the day, orchestrating a spectacular 119-run partnership for the second wicket. Warner, in his final test innings, displayed his prowess by scoring 57 runs before falling victim to Sajid Khan. Labuschagne, on the other hand, stood unbeaten at 62, guiding Australia to a triumphant finish.

The atmosphere at the Sydney Cricket Ground was electrifying as Warner took to the field for one last time. A standing ovation from the 20,000-strong crowd set the tone for an emotional day. Warner shared a heartfelt embrace with his opening partner and close friend, Usman Khawaja, before marching through a guard of honour from the Pakistani team.

Fans erupted with reactions to Australia's victory in the third Test, capturing the sentiments of fans worldwide. The cricket fraternity also bid farewell to Warner after his illustrious Test career and his final innings for a fairytale finish.

What I wouldn’t do to see another young @davidwarner31 to replace the retiring David Warner in the Australian cricket team. #davidwarner #AUSvsPAK

How prolific would it have been if Warner ended today on 63*? Nonethless, that was his 63rd half-century today 🥺🏏 #AUSvsPAK #DavidWarner #AUSvPAK #CricketTwitter

It's easy to have a go at David Warner for a bunch of reasons, and justifiably so. But he's a historic cricketing figure; the first real "T20" player probably anywhere in the world to go on to have a career at such a level in Tests. End of an era today.#AUSvsPAK
