Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi admitted the defending champions were comprehensively beaten in their league game by Australia yesterday.
Shane Watson top-scored with 81 as Australia won by a convincing 34 run margin to start their campaign on a winning note.
Man-of-the-match Watson's innings was the cornerstone of Australia's 191 all out, made after captain Michael Clarke won the toss.
"We missed some opportunities and the pacers struggled with their line.
"They (Australia) played very well, they batted, bowled and fielded well."
Australia skipper Michael Clarke was more than happy with the team's performance.
"It's a very good start from the boys, 191 runs in 19 overs," said Clarke "The bowlers then did a great job in the first six overs and the boys caught really well as well."
Watson added: "It's nice when you do get a life, especially in Twenty20, it's nice to get a reprieve."
