9.56pm Presentation

Josh Inglis: "Really nice win. The boys really applied themselves. It was great to get a win after the ODI series. The bowlers did a great job taking wickets early and they executed everything they tried."

Mohammad Rizwan: "It was difficult to keep things normal in a seven-over game. Got to give credit to Maxy. His style worked really well."

Glenn Maxwell is player of the match: "Certainly had a lot of fun out there. We thought we had enough on the board. There was a little bit of tackiness in the wicket. The bowlers did a great job. There was a few of us who had packed our bags expecting the game to be called off so it was a mad rush to get ready. Credit to the guys."

Australia win by 29 runs in a seven-over game. A comprehensive victory set up by Glenn Maxwell's phenomenal 43 off 19. Marcus Stoinis made 21 not out off seven balls to set up Australia's total of 93 for 4. Australia's bowlers were too good. Xavier Bartlett and Nathan Ellis took three wickets each. Pakistan never got close.

waqar: "can someone tell Pakistani batsmen that there are many other corners apart from the cow corner/midwicket. May be try their luck with more productive shots. "
