00:00Well there you go, out in the centre, the news is that the home side have won the toss and they have decided to have a bat first.
00:09It's gone fine, stifled appeal.
00:14Just the single, we'll wait for a signal.
00:23He starts with a full one.
00:26Positive thing about Stark is that he swings it.
00:30Hello, a bit of argy-bargy already from Brad Hedden.
00:34What a surprise.
00:36Not!
00:39Always a bit of spark early.
00:41Almost a Yorker, just a bit fuller.
00:43It was shape.
00:50It's gone fine.
00:53I think there was a little bit of bat involved.
00:56No, leg-bys, four of them.
01:00Confirmation.
01:03Yeah, you could argue that might have taken out leg pole or at least maybe the outer part of leg stump.
01:09But batter's game, Murgers.
01:11Four in the scorebook.
01:15Half-slip and four.
01:19Cut!
01:21And well taken.
01:22It's a cracking catch, Richardson.
01:25Always zeer out.
01:28Look how short it is.
01:29Very, very annoyed with himself.
01:33Opportunity to slice it anyway.
01:38Oh, it's got to be out as well.
01:40Two for Maxwell in the over.
01:42From the outside edge.
01:44Got the dancing shoes on, but didn't find the dance floor.
01:52It'll be a wide.
01:53It'll be four of them, I think.
01:56Indeed it is.
01:57Craig McDermott, the bowling coach.
01:59Up on, mitt on.
02:01Oh, I think that surprised Haddon how quickly that went.
02:05A little bit of movement, of course.
02:06Good scene, but now on the league side.
02:08But, geez, I thought it was going somewhere.
02:10Yeah, he was very late with it, Haddon.
02:14Little bit of wits.
02:16And that's beautifully timed off the back foot.
02:19And uses the pace of Stark.
02:22Oh, yes.
02:23Oh, yes.
02:26Scored Pakistan's first ever 2020 International 100.
02:33Oh, and if he'd gloved that cleanly, Brad Haddon,
02:35I think that might have been another stumping.
02:37Yeah, it's a wide down the league side.
02:40Overbalance.
02:41Oh, he's got to take those.
02:45Yeah!
02:46Oh, he's tossed that one up, and he's got number three.
02:49Beautifully bowled.
02:51Here's the end of Maqsood.
02:53He just plays all over the top of it.
02:55You've got to hit those, young man.
02:57Right arm around, little bit of loop.
02:59Oh, he's missed it by a country mile.
03:02Oh, dear.
03:09Lots of turn again there.
03:15And he's gone for four.
03:17Outside edge, and gets his first wicket for Australia.
03:21Only 150 might be a good score.
03:23Here's a ball.
03:25Back of the league.
03:26Should have been hit.
03:27Easy through point.
03:28Outside edge, and Aaron Finch does the job.
03:33Reckon a cut shot was in order, Dean.
03:36It was pretty slow.
03:37Trying to sort of half push.
03:41Oh, in the air.
03:42Someone catch it.
03:43Get under it, someone.
03:45Oh, he's done it.
03:48Yes, and Omar Akmal does it again.
03:51You build him up with great talent, but this is the problem.
03:54His choice of shot at really poor moments.
03:58Warner does the rest.
04:02I just don't know if they're thinking of some of the young kids.
04:05He had a chance to make a good 40-not.
04:08Short of it, anyway.
04:10Yeah, he's got it.
04:12Yeah, he's asking for an appeal.
04:14Is that out?
04:15Did he get back on it?
04:16He's given.
04:17Let's have a look outside the line.
04:20No, that's pretty good to me.
04:22Hit him in line, and Hawkeye says,
04:25that's middle stump.
04:26Yep.
04:27It's indicative.
04:28Another example.
04:30Pakistani boys aren't watching the ball.
04:32Get the result in their favour.
04:37Driven on the up.
04:39Ayyanwar Ali.
04:41Richardson to field it.
04:47That's gone.
04:48Midon is in business.
04:49Another miscue.
04:50He's looking at the two end of his bat.
04:52He gets the ball to tweak and spin,
04:54and that's where batsmen at times are not in a good position
04:57to play that pull shot.
05:02Top edge, over the top of the keeper.
05:09Stark down at fine leg.
05:11He'll pick up two.
05:14Gone!
05:16Too much room,
05:17and there's the eighth one.
05:20Let's have a look at the...
05:22Can we get there?
05:23The change up pace just backed away a little bit too much
05:25to get some bat on it.
05:27Don't really understand the thinking there of Nazim.
05:30He missed that by a month.
05:32And that's a nice shot from four.
05:34Stand and deliver, Mr. Richardson.
05:36He won't like that, let me tell you.
05:40Wahab is renowned for this sort of stuff.
05:43He's such a big striker.
05:46If he had an opportunity to get in,
05:49if things were going a lot better for the Pakistanis,
05:51he can be destructive
05:54at the death stages of an innings.
05:57Change up, and this has gone straight up.
06:00Someone going to get under it.
06:01Stark is it.
06:03And he does a great job.
06:05Wonderful grab.
06:06The big man.
06:08Saw him take a couple of great catches here in the IPL
06:10back in April this year.
06:13The whole 20 overs there, there is just a slow,
06:15slow roll.
06:16Big boy, really.
06:17Look at this guy.
06:18He's got the ball,
06:19he's got the ball,
06:20he's got the ball,
06:21he's got the ball,
06:22he's got the ball,
06:23he's got the ball,
06:24he's got the ball,
06:25he's got the ball,
06:26he's got the ball,
06:27he's got the ball,
06:28he's got the ball,
06:29he's got the ball.
06:30Big boy, really.
06:31Look at this for a great catch.
06:32Athleticism diving for good technique.
06:37This looks like Moorleg buys.
06:39Just wait for the umpire's signal.
06:42No, got a little bit of back there.
06:45Muhammad Afan has come in at No. 11.
06:48You just never know.
06:49Post to score.
06:50We've all won a game like this somewhere in our careers.
06:52Just gets an edge on it.
06:53Too short.
06:55He's got to take most of the strike now, surely.
06:58Yeah, fast bowler's doing that.
07:00Let me tell you.
07:02Enough from you, Dino. Just calm down.
07:06Oh, hello.
07:08Big fella. Big trouble.
07:10I know he's got big strides, but he's in big trouble here with the throw.
07:13I thought he was dawdling, Danny.
07:15He was off for a Tosca.
07:19And we're going for a decision pending.
07:21The third umpire's having a little look.
07:24And I just thought for a split second he was dawdling.
07:29Gets the ball now. Oh, he's lucky.
07:33Oh, does it lift? Oh, it stays in there.
07:35So he's fine.
07:37We're waiting for the decision not out.
07:39How many steps do you reckon it takes?
07:42Last one, a swing and a miss.
07:45Dot ball.
07:48To finish, the last six balls.
07:52Only three runs.
07:54What a fantastic over from Kane Richardson.
07:58And the left on 96 for nine.
08:02One stage there.
08:04Real danger, grave danger, being bowled out.
08:10That's a good stop.
08:12Stops.
08:17Runs.
08:19Will it make the fence?
08:21No, it's a heavy outfield.
08:23Two runs.
08:25Warner is off and running.
08:27Rider on the stomps.
08:29Oh, that's missed.
08:31Little bit of inside edge.
08:33Who knows, a little bit of pad.
08:35Or maybe it was just a stumping chance.
08:37That's been grasped.
08:39Oh, that's well timed.
08:42Oh, that's well timed.
08:44And even though there was a big dive
08:46from the fielder at mid-on,
08:48I think it was the captain himself yet.
08:50Strong left inch.
08:52And even though he wasn't really convincing
08:54with that shot,
08:56just came back in at the last moment.
08:59And he's just managed to get back on
09:01and he's raced away to the boundary.
09:04Catch it.
09:06Catch it, catch it.
09:08And the first wicket falls down.
09:11In fact, he's picked up a catch
09:13and runs out the wicket.
09:16There you go, just a little bit of spin
09:18which undoing the fence.
09:20And Irfan bucketed it there.
09:23Catching the ball, reverse cupping it.
09:25Irfan just not adapt to it.
09:28Did a good job.
09:30Reverse flick, clears the infield.
09:33Glenn Maxwell gets off the mark
09:35with a reverse flick.
09:3715 for 1. Fine leg up in the red.
09:40Flashes and cracks a boundary.
09:43Skillful effort from...
09:45Smashed that over point.
09:47That's his favourite shot.
09:49Favourite area, square of the wicket.
09:52And enough bounce from Irfan
09:56as he smashed it.
09:59And the only problem here
10:01is that he might have a neck ache
10:03staring up at Irfan.
10:04Let's see how he copes with Irfan.
10:06Makes room and...
10:08Gets it over the man at slips
10:10into the fence.
10:12Maxwell is a change-up
10:14and even the change-up's edge
10:16and it's gone way over slip.
10:20Just rolling his fingers over it.
10:22But Maxwell only knows one way
10:24in G20 cricket, just knows one way.
10:30Edge will do it quite nicely for Glenn Maxwell.
10:32Almost carried it over the fence.
10:38There he goes.
10:39Clears the infield.
10:42Didn't catch it entirely.
10:45And he'll pick up three runs.
10:48Of playing spin.
10:51And in the team meetings
10:52MS said that he would tell everybody
10:54that spinners are made to be hit.
10:58You just cannot defend against spin
11:00because they're tailor-made for hitting.
11:02So go out there and just attack them
11:04because they like it.
11:09Yes, but you could get away with it.
11:14That's a smash.
11:15Just showing his ability and power.
11:17What a powerhouse he is.
11:20Just lack of length.
11:22Just short of length.
11:23And Moran loves that.
11:24Just giving him time to rock back
11:26onto the back foot
11:27and powering it over the offside.
11:32Big shout for LBW
11:33and the finger goes up.
11:35Afridi strikes with his second ball.
11:39Straight on.
11:40Oh, he's in all sorts of trouble.
11:42Back leg, yeah.
11:43Let's have a look at the quicker one.
11:45Yeah, just hit him in lines and lengths.
11:47Maybe he's thinking too much.
11:49Maxwell.
11:50It's a good comeback by Afridi.
11:56It's a busy cricketer, isn't he Dean?
11:58And he'll come back for two now.
12:02Being a future captain.
12:05He's out.
12:06At mid-arm.
12:07Wahab Riaz.
12:08That's a really good catch.
12:10Moving away to his right.
12:11A huge wrapping him in this.
12:14There's the wicket here.
12:15Got too close to it.
12:16Trying to whack it over the top.
12:17It goes for four.
12:18All happy.
12:19But a good catch here by Wahab.
12:22Don't think maybe T20 cricket suits him.
12:25Mind you, that'll suit anyone.
12:27That is just yum yum bubblegum.
12:32Doesn't he give it a wind-up?
12:33He really looks to go forward.
12:35Throw his hands at it.
12:38See, he doesn't get that right foot right to the pitch of the ball.
12:41That's where it upsets a lot of the true traditionalists of the game.
12:46Over mid-off.
12:48What a way to welcome the new bowler to the crease.
12:50It's his first 2020 international for over three years.
12:55Well, excuse me.
12:58Just launched into it with the balance and the poise.
13:02Pulls it away.
13:03This should be out.
13:04Catch it, someone.
13:06Get under it.
13:07He's done it.
13:09So have Maqsood.
13:10Takes the catch.
13:11He beat him in pace.
13:12He's just trying to wind up too much.
13:14Tried to hit it too hard.
13:15Got himself out of shape.
13:17Top-edged.
13:18Maqsood just camping under it.
13:20Thank you very much.
13:22Now, if they lose another wicket,
13:23I tell you, I love him, Wahab.
13:25There's something about him.
13:27Good battle.
13:29Ferguson's shot of the back foot out towards deep extra.
13:35The big fella in the middle of the fan.
13:38In the smaller grounds, of course.
13:42Oh, that's beautifully eased away through the covers.
13:46Just opening the face.
13:49Got two and that's all they'll get.
13:53He's so strong there.
13:58Shot of a length and just hammers it through.
14:01That's meat and drink for him.
14:03He lives on that shot, Warner.
14:11Henson's room for himself.
14:16Too short.
14:19There's that four-ball you're talking about, Pehzad Khan.
14:22So quick on his feet.
14:24And he's made that look ridiculously short.
14:29Then full.
14:30And this one's disappeared.
14:33Oh, yes.
14:35Tried the wrong one.
14:37And Warner's just smoked that into the crowd.
14:41And that instinct, insect, has been well and truly removed from his eye.
14:47And he's hitting them into the crowd.
14:48And the big fella got there in the end.
14:51I thought he might have got beaten there.
14:53Because it was hit so sweetly from Warner.
14:57It's a reverse flick.
14:59And it's a mighty one.
15:01That's his 50.
15:03And it's club one over mid-wicket.
15:08It's a reverse flick.
15:10And it's a mighty one.
15:12That's his 50.
15:14And it's club one over mid-wicket.
15:19Sweet shit.
15:21And he's got enough power.
15:23It's gone basically over mid-wicket.
15:25So Warner's showing his power.
15:28And brilliant innings again.
15:3050 for Warner.
15:35One required.
15:37And they pick up a single.
15:39It's a sharp one.
15:41Warner will take one.
15:43And take Australia to a comfortable win.
15:45They win this by six wickets.
15:47Warner is on strike.
15:50And it's a run now.
15:52It's got to be over now.
15:56Yes, easily done.
15:58Shahid Afridi will look at it as an opportunity miss with the bat.
16:04Because they were playing on a pitch that was supposed to help them out.
16:08The ball was spinning, gripping.
16:11And well, it was advantage Pakistan at the toss.
16:14After winning the toss, Pakistan decided to bat first.
16:17But just couldn't bat properly.
16:19The man of the match.
16:21The higher man of the match awarded Glenn Maxwell.
16:23Who could just sign the balls first and the bats for the youngsters.
16:26Well done, Glenn Maxwell.
16:29The outstanding performance.
16:32And the man of the match award.
16:34He's dined out with David Warner here tonight.
16:36And the super fans, these youngsters are part of the Shahid Afridi Foundation.
16:41And the man of the match.
16:42The higher man of the match goes to Glenn Maxwell of Australia.
16:48We'll have a quick chat to you, Glenn.
