Pakistan imploded dramatically in a rain-affected T20I against Australia, losing half their side for 16, and eventually falling short by 29 runs in Brisbane.
After rain and thunderstorms delayed the toss, Pakistan opted to bowl first with the match shortened to seven-overs-a-side, and two overs of powerplay. Maxwell led the show, reverse-sweeping Naseem Shah for four off his first ball en route to a 19-ball 43. Helped by a seven-ball 21 from Marcus Stoinis, they managed 93-4.
Abbas Afridi was the pick of the bowlers, picking up two wickets from his solitary over and giving nine runs.
Pakistan's top-order was blown away spectacularly: from 8-0, they slipped to 16-5, and then 24-6. Xavier Bartlett and Nathan Ellis finished with three wickets apiece. Rizwan succumbed to a two-ball duck in his first game as full-time T20I captain.
