Azam hit five to four and six in his 55-ball innings while Pakistan recorded a 155-8 record before Wasim (3-20) tore the Australian higher order while he drops to 89 points – his third lowest total in T20 – at Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
This victory gave Pakistan a 1-0 lead in the three-game series as well as its biggest T20 victory over Australia, thus improving the 45-point victory they won in Harare in July.
Australia scored only half as many points in an international match, making only 79 wins against England in Southampton in 2005 and 86 in a defeat in front to India in Dhaka four years ago.
Left-winger Wasim, who was playing his first game against Pakistan since last October, played the first two Australian teams, Aaron Finch (draw) and D & # 39; Arcy Short (four), in the first of their sleeves.
Midfielder Faheem Ashraf, who finished with a score of 2-10, then fired Glenn Maxwell (two) and Chris Lynn (14) to derail the Australians.
Ben McDermott was eliminated without scoring before Wasim came back in the attack to dismiss Alex Carey for a goal, leaving Australia in tatters at 22-6.
Only Nathan Coulter-Nile's 34th punch, the last man absent, allowed Australia to not succumb to its lowest total in T20.
Paceman Shaheen Shah Afridi finished with 2-23 while Hasan Ali and Shadab Khan took a wicket each.
Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed praised this outstanding performance.
"Our bowling attack is good, so we're trying to score some points and defend ourselves," Sarfraz said.
"Babar Azam and Hafeez made a great comeback and when we play bowling, we always try to take the wickets when we have the ball in our hands."
Finch said the defeat was embarrbading.
"It's rather embarrbading, to be fair," Finch said. "I think we were a little one-dimensional when we hit, but it's a learning experience and I would say that Pakistan has a lot of variety in its bowling."
Before, Azam and Mohammad Hafeez (39) had raised Pakistan by adding 73 points for the second wicket in record time.
But after Hafeez dropped to 14th place, Pakistan lost six wickets for just 28 points. Sarfraz, Ashraf and Wasim fell without a marker while Shadab only registered one.
Azam had to leave one end intact in his sixth half-century of T20, while Hasan was effectively using the long run, hitting two limits and six out of 17 hits to help add 41 points in the last five badists. .
Billy Stanlake (3-21) and Andre Tye (3-24) were the most successful Australian bowlers.
The second and third international matches will be played in Dubai on Friday and Sunday.
