Australia beats Pakistan in seven-over slog as first T20 is shortened by rain and sparked by Glenn Maxwell

ABC  

Glenn Maxwell has produced a cracking cameo after storms cleared in Brisbane to allow for a seven-over slog in Australia's T20 opener against Pakistan. Pakistan's run chase never got going, with Spencer Johnson and Xavier Bartlett both striking early to leave the tourists 3/16 after the first two overs. Two more wickets in Nathan Ellis's first over effectively killed the game with the score at 5/20, but some counter-attacking from Abbas Afridi and Haseebullah Khan returned some respectability. Two Adam Zampa wickets with the final two balls of the game saw Pakistan crash to 9-64 as Australia celebrated its victory.
