AUS vs PAK: What happened when they last played T20I?

Australia defeated Pakistan by 29 runs in the last T20I at Gabba to win the first game of the three-game series. The match was delayed by nearly three hours due to rain but eventually went down to seven overs per side. Australia was forced to bat first, which they did well and produced 93/4. Glenn Maxwell contributed significantly with 43 off 19 balls, and Marcus Stoinis also contributed a quick 21* off seven balls. 

In response, Pakistan's chase faltered early, losing wickets regularly and collapsing to 5/16. A promising knock from Abbas Afridi (20* off 10) was not enough for Pakistan as they could only score 64/9, giving the win comprehensively to Australia.
