Pakistan on Wednesday returned Australia the favour by beating them in the opening match of the three-match T20I series by seven wickets at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Pakistan then raced to the required tally of 90 runs in 14.5 overs for the loss of three wickets to win the match.
Hafeez was named as the Player of the Match.
