Bootstrap 4 Center Pagination in Column

Question

I'm using Bootstrap 4 and attempting to horizontally center a pagination UL inside a grid column. Now that the pagination is display:flex I can't get it to properly center.

I would like to use only existing Bootstrap classes w/o any additional CSS to get it centered.

I have tried using text-center, mx-auto, align-items-center but nothing seems to work.

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-lg-6 offset-lg-3 py-5 border">
            <ul class="pagination mx-auto">
                <li class="page-item disabled">
                    <a class="page-link" href="#" aria-label="Previous">
                        <span aria-hidden="true">«</span>
                        <span class="sr-only">Previous</span>
                    </a>
                </li>
                <li class="page-item active">
                    <a class="page-link" href="#">1</a>
                </li>
                <li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">2</a></li>
                <li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">3</a></li>
                <li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="#">4</a></li>
                <li class="page-item">
                    <a class="page-link" href="#" aria-label="Next">
                        <span aria-hidden="true">»</span>
                        <span class="sr-only">Next</span>
                    </a>
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
