Maxwell blasted 108 off 90 balls - with his innings including four fours and a whopping seven sixes.
Meanwhile, Carey finished with a brilliant 106.
Having added 212, the pair departed within seven balls of each other and a handful of runs still needed.
Bowling duo Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins did the rest, guiding Australia to the target with just two balls remaining.
