Bailey: "Completely outplayed. The pitch was a little bit slow, but the top order need to bat for longer and score more runs, that is the name of the game in T20. We are working towards the World T20, and this is the first step towards that."
Mohammad Hafeez is the Man of the Match. Hafeez: "Great team effort. Bowlers stuck to their plans, Raza Hasan showed a lot of character for a debutant."
Ten Cricket inform us that this is Australia's heaviest T20I defeat ever, in terms of balls remaining. They had hardly anything to defend really, after their second-worst batting performance in T20Is. Can't even put it down to the new arrivals being rusty in alien conditions. Six of the top eight played in the ODI series. Top performance from Pakistan though. They were intense in the field and with the ball right through the 20 overs.
Given how packed the cricket calendar is, the brief three-match Twenty20 series between Pakistan and Australia didn't seem to promise much
