Hauritz scored a career-best unbeaten 53 off 39 balls as Australia recovered from a sedate start to make 277 for 8 off their 50 overs. The spinner received support from Michael Hussey, who made a solid 67.
Harris, playing in just his third ODI, then took centre stage in Pakistan's run chase, earning the man-of-the-match award as his return of 5 for 19 helped bowl out the visitors for 142 to give Australia a 4-0 series lead with one match remaining.
