Australia suffered an embarrassing 66-run defeat in the first T20 international against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
Chasing a moderate target of 156, Australia were bundled out for 89 runs with spinner Imad Wasim taking three wickets.
Seeing the runs 'The Invincibles' were all-out for, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi was left shocked and said he was stunned at the batting collapse of Australia.
Only three Australian batsmen could reach the double-figure mark - Chris Lynn (14), Ashton Agar (19) and Nathan Coulter-Nile (34) - as the rest eight of them were dismissed on single digits.
Absolutely stunned by the Australian collapses first in Tests and now in the T20I. What's wrong? 😐 Brilliant comeback @simadwasim. And yes Pakistan is number one in the format for a reason. The best in the world. 🇵🇰 Keep going strong boys. #PAKvAUS
