Glenn Maxwell and Aaron Finch have brought Australia right back into this game as they have already reached 138 for three wickets at the end of the 14th over, against a deflated Pakistan unit.
After scoring the fourth fastest half-century in Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), Maxwell finally lost his wicket to Shahid Afridi in the 12th over, as he tried slog sweep again, but was caught at deep square leg.
During the Maxwell-Finch partnership, 30 runs were scored from one over of Bilawal Bhatti. Maxwell completed his fifty in just 18 deliveries. Three boundaries and two sixes, five byes and no-ball in the eighth over.
Earlier in the day, after Pakistan piled up a rather huge total of 191 for the loss of five wickets, thanks to some belligerent hitting from Umar Akmal, Australia started their chase in poor fashion, losing the two crucial wickets of David Warner and Shane Watson in the very first over to Zulfiqar Babar.
