00:00India win, unbelievable teams here at the point where.
00:09The victorious Pakistan team.
00:13Collingwood and his team have won the World 2020 final.
00:17The winners have sting this.
00:21Sri Lanka, the new champions.
00:24Carlos Bradwick, remember the name.
00:29Live the game, love the game.
00:32Live the game, love the game, live the game, love the game.
00:39Welcome one and all wherever you may be.
00:42It is semi-final number two and we are in Dubai as these two sides, giant sides, meet here for this semi-final.
00:53Baba Razam and his men hoping that they can continue unbeaten and get to that final.
01:00Aaron Finch whose side has gone the right way in terms of peaking at the right time and he will hope that they can get to that final.
01:09The toss a little earlier won by Australia.
01:12Important that is chosen predictably to field first.
01:17It's Pakistan against Australia.
01:23semi-final number two coming to you from the Ring of Fire in Dubai.
01:34Well, how they got here.
01:36Flawless, that's the word you'd use because you look on the right-hand side and they managed to win all of their games in the round-robin stage to get into the semi-final.
01:46Started with a big win and it just continued on in terms of momentum for the Pakistani side.
01:58For the Australians, well a win to start off but not convincing in that very first one.
02:04And then as things went along form for the right men, things seemed to start picking up.
02:09A big loss to England before coming back again and critically in that game against Bangladesh.
02:16Doing absolutely everything necessary to ensure that they redress the net run rate and got themselves in the semi-final spot.
02:25A look at the teams and this side has been pretty good strike rates.
02:30Look at their strike rates up there.
02:32They start off by building Pakistan and then through the middle, they would like to ensure that they keep pressing the accelerator.
02:39Today, they've got to do that first.
02:41They've got to set a target and they would love dearly for their man, Baha Zaman, to find some touch so their bowlers can get to work.
02:51For Australia, up at the top, that's where things go generally.
02:55That's how they look to get out the blocks really quickly.
02:57And they want something from Maxwell.
03:00He's been missing this tournament and he's a key to their tournament.
03:04Important also for the bowlers as they start up to set the tone and get them.
03:11Yes, I am.
03:14Mitchell Stark, he'll be wanting to get his first balls right on the money.
03:20Like Shane Shafridi did against India.
03:22He's warmed up, he's ready to go.
03:25Can he execute it perfectly, these first couple of balls?
03:28While the ball's swinging late, right at the top of the stumps.
03:32That's what he would have been visualising in the lead up to this game.
03:37And he starts with his back to the pitch and he'll do his customary little walk to get into position.
03:44Do it the same just about every time.
03:47And you hope that what's in your memory can be replicated with the actual delivery.
03:54Semi-final number two.
03:57Inside edge.
04:00It's a good hand on, doesn't go to the fence.
04:04Electric it is here in Dubai.
04:08Mitchell Stark.
04:10Just about on the money.
04:11Just a little bit wider than he thought.
04:13But there's a nice swing there for him.
04:15What's really interesting here is the feel to start with.
04:18There is no cover.
04:19There's an extra person on the leg side.
04:23At square leg.
04:25Two straight.
04:26The first boundary.
04:27Mitchell Stark.
04:28His pace is up.
04:29147.
04:30That's a great sign.
04:31But it wasn't, which wasn't a great sign.
04:32Just a little bit straight.
04:33Started on, probably on leg stump just about.
04:34And swung down even just outside leg stump.
04:35Bugra's arm is not going to miss out on that.
04:36Just used the pace very nicely.
04:37The main wicket toe.
04:38Just by bowling great length.
04:39Shot.
04:40Oh, wow.
04:41Bubra's arm.
04:42With a beauty.
04:43That is an hour long time.
04:44It wasn't a great sign.
04:45It wasn't a great sign.
04:46Just a little bit straight.
04:47Started on.
04:48Probably on leg stump just about.
04:49And swung down even just outside leg stump.
04:50Bubra's arm is not going to miss out on that.
04:51Just used the pace very nicely.
04:52The main wicket take it.
04:53Just by bowling great length.
04:54Shot.
04:55Oh, wow.
04:56Bubra's arm.
04:57With a beauty.
04:58That is an hour long time.
04:59Oh, wow.
05:01Bubra's arm.
05:03Bubra's arm.
05:04With a beauty.
05:06That is an outrageous shot.
05:09Just stood still.
05:10Allowed the ball to swing.
05:11And it swung quite late.
05:15Look how still he is.
05:16Just waits for the ball to swing.
05:18And then hits right through the line of the ball.
05:21Josh Hazelwood.
05:22Just a tiny bit full.
05:23A tiny bit wide.
05:25Oh.
05:26Close, you know.
05:27He got there.
05:28Oh, wow.
05:29Hearts and mouths just about everywhere.
05:31And man.
05:32David Warner.
05:33A top job to get there.
05:34And normally he'd be the one with the specky, you know.
05:35I thought that was a big six.
05:36Just kept staying up there.
05:38And Dave Warner.
05:39Made great ground.
05:40And oh.
05:41When he makes ground and get it.
05:42Oh.
05:43Oh.
05:44Oh, wow.
05:45Oh.
05:46Oh.
05:47Oh, wow.
05:48Oh.
05:49Oh.
05:50Oh, wow.
05:51Oh.
05:52Oh, wow.
05:53Oh, wow.
05:54Oh, wow.
05:55Oh, wow.
05:56Oh, wow.
05:57Oh, wow.
05:58Oh.
05:59Oh, wow.
06:00Oh, wow.
06:01Oh, wow.
06:02Oh, wow.
06:03Oh, wow.
06:04What am I getting when he makes ground and gets there
06:09nine times out of 10?
06:10Perhaps the nerves will have eased with the drop.
06:14Last ball.
06:15One bounce and for.
06:19Nearly.
06:20Twenty one without loss.
06:22Oh, Lars.
06:35Yeah, nicely played.
06:37And Babar, the line not good with the two men up in the circle at leg side.
06:42And he's trying to also ensure he doesn't give room on the offside.
06:45So fine line.
06:46You miss by a little bit, you fetch.
06:52Oh, so elegant.
07:00Babar's arm.
07:01Doesn't look like he's taking a risk and he scores quickly.
07:04Pat Cummins slightly short, slightly straight.
07:08Realised that fine leg was up.
07:11He's got a nice piece of bat on that.
07:13So far, in this tournament, Pat Cummins has gone.
07:17He's leaked quite a few runs in the power play.
07:19He's been more potent in the middle overs, especially.
07:23So, again, I'm a little bit surprised that Pat Cummins is bowled right now.
07:27Hazelwood has been the wicket taker.
07:29Australia need to burst through this top order.
07:33Griswa and Babar, if they get set after the power play, that's when Pakistan are right in the game.
07:39And that is their wheelhouse.
07:5129 without loss.
07:52And now the bottom floor, Pakistan has about 29 runs.
07:57He thinks it's off.
08:03Looking for a response from Rizwan.
08:05It doesn't come.
08:06Has to go back.
08:08And, yep, it is close.
08:09Barbarazza for six.
08:17A beauty.
08:21Correction.
08:22It's Rizwan.
08:24He'll get going.
08:26Perhaps that cuts him loose.
08:27Miss Rizwan.
08:31He's shaking off the nerves there, and he's just back to his ability.
08:35He's back to just stand there.
08:36Reaction to the ball coming down, which is him at his best.
08:41Used a bit of length.
08:42Used a bit of angle there.
08:45And does.
08:47And is that stopped?
08:49No.
08:50They're going mad.
08:51That ball came off the back so fast, it was near impossible to pick it up.
08:57Not just for me or Buzzit, but for that fielder down there at deep Square Lake.
09:04And right off the middle, and it's been timed superbly.
09:09Full-end dive.
09:10Maxwell is very, very quick.
09:12Unlucky in the end.
09:13It just sort of rolls away from him.
09:18Last ball of the power play.
09:21Oh, dropped it.
09:27Very difficult.
09:28Let's mark it down as a good stop.
09:30But on another day, it just might have stuck.
09:34Adam Zampa down at Longleg.
09:36Six gone.
09:3647 for no wicket.
09:40Pretty much short.
09:41It's whipped away, and it's gone really flat.
09:43It hasn't gone in the air at all.
09:46Well, that is a brilliant effort in striggering.
09:49The time he had to react was very little.
09:53That's some shot.
10:04That'll take some matching.
10:06We will watch for the rest of the day and see whether anything as good as that is played.
10:11Just a short arm, jab, leg, side.
10:15The balance always is so perfect.
10:19Regal batting from Barbarazan.
10:21Oh, that's a brilliant over.
10:31Really a brilliant over.
10:34One ball remains in it.
10:36Can he finish it off?
10:37We all know about the dreaded boundary off the last ball of the over.
10:41Every fielding captain's nightmare.
10:43Can he finish it off?
10:44Each moment, a game within a game.
10:55Oh, hello.
10:57We can finish it off.
10:59What about that?
11:00It's as good an over as you'll see.
11:04And it's the biggest fish that you can catch.
11:07I was just building that over, that previous over from Maxwell.
11:10You just thought that there's something around the corner.
11:13He tries to go big.
11:14The length again.
11:15It's too quick from Zampa.
11:18And at this time, an easy catch.
11:20Warner's too good to drop that.
11:22It's a huge wicket.
11:23Zampa comes to the party.
11:25The spinners have come to the party.
11:28Barbarazan, as always, looked really good when he was out there.
11:32He got 39.
11:33It's 71 for one.
11:35Barbarazan goes off the scoring 30 lane runs.
11:40Yeah!
11:43He won't go for it.
11:45Obviously brushed something off the leg because it hasn't been signaled wide, let's assume.
11:52Yes, and the wicketkeeper would have been blinded by the batsman.
11:56He would have heard the sound, but he wouldn't have known exactly from where the ball had come.
12:00Let's have a look at this.
12:14Obvious.
12:16Looked as if it might have just brushed that knee roll.
12:24Two is the ball.
12:25They do get there.
12:32But again, just four off the over.
12:3575 for one.
12:37Sometimes when you bowl a little bit outside the off stump, it can come in the arc off your bat.
12:43So...
12:43There he goes for that slight sweep into the crowd, it goes for Rizman.
12:53What a shot.
12:55This is an incredible shot.
12:58Because he bowled it flat.
12:59He bowled it at almost 100 kilometers per hour.
13:02That he's gone, and he's hit it miles in.
13:09Clearing that front foot just that little bit.
13:151,000 runs in T20 cricket for Rizwan.
13:20And the first player to aggregate in this format.
13:25In a calendar year.
13:27He goes wider outside the off stump, but that's going towards the boundary as well.
13:38Yes, I think that's what he tried to do.
13:40Bowled it a little bit wider.
13:43But there was just a little bit of turn, and that was enough to beat the wicket keeper.
13:48Not easy for the wicket keeper.
13:49But you've got to say that.
13:52Pakistan's not complaining.
13:53Ten runs of two deliveries.
14:01Good over for Pakistan.
14:0314 off at 89 for one.
14:07Looking for a wicket to try to stall the middle overs progress further.
14:11Into the gap she goes, and to the boundary she goes, Fakir Zaman.
14:23Well, he's bowled at the pads.
14:25And that's exactly what he was looking for, Fakir Zaman, wasn't he?
14:29And there it is.
14:29He's cleared that front foot.
14:32Made good connection because it was just a slightly fuller length.
14:35Which is what the batsmen are looking for at this stage.
14:38Which has either got to go right up there.
14:46He connects.
14:47He connects very well.
14:51It took a while for him to get in and find his best touch.
14:55But he's somewhere there now.
14:56100 up for Pakistan.
14:58Look at them.
15:00And I see that Mr. Sarjan has enjoyed that shot.
15:05What a shot this is from Rizwan.
15:08Oh, that is likely to be looked at by the umpire to see whether it's above the waist.
15:22It's been called a no-ball.
15:28Oh, yes.
15:28Above the waist.
15:30Above the mid-drift.
15:31Nicely guided.
15:33Very nicely guided.
15:34Down the ground.
15:55Has he got enough?
15:56He has flat six.
15:58That is a serious shot.
16:02And I'm so happy that I'm in the combats with you right now.
16:04Because that was a lot of excitement.
16:08Walker Sarman getting all of that.
16:10Flat batting that.
16:11Over the long-off boundary.
16:15Oh.
16:17That is a no-ball.
16:19And that will get to the fence.
16:21So, missed his length by a long way.
16:24And now, a free hit.
16:29Yeah, I'm going to give my chair for this right now.
16:31That is a big full toss.
16:33Joss Haylewood missing his length by quite some distance there.
16:38And he's been Australia, one of Australia's best bowlers.
16:40He was one of the guys that came into this tournament with a lot of cricket under his belt.
16:45Playing in the IPL.
16:47Pressure does some crazy things.
16:49So, here comes the free hit.
16:54Oh, he's hit that.
16:56Miles.
16:58That's on all the way.
16:59Just on the offside.
17:02Couple of steps.
17:03And then, runs it legs out.
17:07I'm going to start raising my voice right now.
17:09This is incredible.
17:11That's a great hit.
17:13Free hit in the slot.
17:15Rizwan, he's up for that.
17:16Great hands.
17:19How quickly his hands went through that shot.
17:26This time over, towards mid-half.
17:29And just be a single.
17:31But 21 off the 17th.
17:34143 for one.
17:38Joss Hazard.
17:41Happens to the best of us.
17:43Had a bad pitch report.
17:44Don't worry about it, buddy.
17:46But on the bat, Rizwan's done.
17:51Stark with that lens.
17:52Very full.
17:54And after a good inning, Rizwan's walked back.
17:58Fantastic bowling by Mitchell Stark.
18:01Holding that line outside off.
18:03Rizwan giving himself a little bit of room.
18:04He's trying to access that so he can clear that road, that infield.
18:07Not getting enough bat on to that and getting caught by Steve Smith.
18:12Muhammad Rizwan, he's gone for 67 or 52.
18:15Pakistan or 143 for two.
18:17Oh, that has smoked.
18:25That has gone miles.
18:28Mitchell Stark missing his length and fucker goes boom.
18:39High-fives in the crowd.
18:46Great hit.
18:49Oh, a drop catch in the crowd.
18:53But that was a fantastic hit.
18:59Goes again, left side in the gap.
19:02And come back 4-2.
19:10Great fielding by Glenn Maxwell.
19:12He's charged around there and saved the potential two.
19:17Look at this hit.
19:20Great bat speed.
19:23Some happy spectators.
19:24He's got the ball.
19:26Lots of fireworks.
19:28Sixers.
19:29Yorker, thumped down the ground, misses his length.
19:37That is an umpire killer.
19:40This is another great shot.
19:45Bang.
19:46Umpire goes down.
19:51Mitchell Stark.
19:53Looked like he was in a ball, a slower ball there.
19:55We're in with the Yorker.
19:57Great power.
19:59He's going down the leg side.
20:05Pressure, pressure, pressure.
20:09Up by her to wait.
20:10He's turned to get up to signal the boundary.
20:13I saw Mitchell Stark walk fast and just give him a tap and apologize.
20:16Not often you see the bowler apologize for when a battlement.
20:19That's when almost hits him.
20:20Perfect yoga, they'll come back for two, I recognize Afali.
20:29Yes, he does.
20:30Another great over for Pakistan.
20:35Fifteen off.
20:37Two remaining.
20:37One fifty-eight for two.
20:41It's the modern way.
20:43Go as deep and possible and try and get underneath that delivery.
20:47Give yourself that extra bit of room and it's worked.
20:50Down the ground, in the air.
21:02Hasn't got enough.
21:03Out.
21:04Oh, Steve Smith with the catch.
21:07Cummins with the wicket.
21:09Yeah, Australia will be very happy with this wicket.
21:11Great change of pace by Cummins there.
21:14So a wide ball.
21:16Asafali not getting everything of that.
21:18He hits a six every three balls so far this tournament.
21:21He's at seven sixes in 23 balls.
21:23So he wasn't going to hang around.
21:25He was going to go for it.
21:26Fortunately, not tonight.
21:28And he's out first ball.
21:30Pakistan lose their third wicket.
21:31They're one fifty-eight for three.
21:35Trembalik, but he's at the non-striking end.
21:38It's all about Fakir Zaman now.
21:44Swing in the air.
21:45Steve Smith again.
21:47Oh, he drops it.
21:48You never see this happen with somebody like Steve Smith.
21:55Just taking a good catch.
21:58He has incredibly safe hands.
22:03Lights here in Dubai have been a problem.
22:05We've seen a lot of drop catches.
22:08Could have been the situation right now.
22:14Pakistan will be with a sigh of relief
22:16knowing that Pukka is still out there.
22:20With Scheib Malik is fresh off of 50 from the previous nights
22:23not so long ago.
22:28He just rotates Stripe.
22:31But Asafali, he's a dangerous man at the back end.
22:36This is the wicket.
22:40Just on the toe edge of the back.
22:42Steve Smith took a good catch.
22:43And then the very next ball.
22:48Low into the pitch.
22:51The ball.
23:05This is a fantastic over by Cummins.
23:08Only two from it so far
23:12and the previous two overs
23:13had travelled the distance.
23:15He has a...
23:16How quickly
23:17umpire Gaffney had to get to the ground.
23:20His reaction time was 0.68 seconds.
23:23That is
23:24very quick.
23:27And I don't think he was too pleased about that.
23:29Must have had a word with Mitchell Stark, though.
23:37Oh, Slough, a shorter one.
23:38This has been exceptional from Cummins.
23:42That is a brilliant over.
23:44That was the 19th.
23:45And it's just been three runs off that.
23:50161 for three.
23:54161 for three.
23:56Final over.
23:57Mitchell Stark.
23:57Well,
23:59he was going full.
24:00Pucker had his number.
24:02Hit him out of the park
24:03and hit him down the ground.
24:04Now
24:05into the pitch.
24:09Changes it up.
24:11That seems to be a good option right now
24:13for the Australians.
24:15Bowling into the pitch.
24:17Saw the last ball of the previous over.
24:18Cummins bowling a good slow ball bouncer.
24:20Getting good height on it.
24:22Buckers of mine missing it.
24:23Almost like a boxers punch
24:25straight into the grill.
24:30Bowling
24:30straight through.
24:32Swinging left side.
24:33Stark just
24:34too quick and too straight.
24:37It's another wicket for Australia.
24:39Great bowling by Mitchell Stark.
24:41Slight change of pace
24:42on the stumps.
24:45Shiaid Malik's
24:45only been there for one ball
24:46so far.
24:48And he has to go.
24:50He knows it.
24:51This is the final over.
24:52He has to put his foot down.
24:54You miss.
24:55I hit.
24:56Shiaid Malik
24:56has gone for one.
24:58Pakistan
24:59162 for four.
25:04Short ball
25:07will be just a single.
25:18Stark just
25:20slight change of
25:22pace.
25:23Rolling his wrist onto that.
25:25We want you.
25:25We want you.
25:26We want you.
25:27We want you.
25:28We want you.
25:29And with that wicket
25:30Mitchell Stark
25:31actually with the previous wicket
25:32that he took
25:33has gone past
25:34Mr. Shane Watson.
25:35This is the importance of having somebody who's in and striking it while at the death
25:51Bukka Saman going deep in his crease Mitchell stock in the slot bang 92 meters
26:10has come to the party at the right time 50
26:15what a hit that is serious 89 meters I think it went further than 89 meters that
26:23was still going when it got into the crowd Bukka Saman he's going to his 50 in
26:29absolute style Mitchell stockers missed his length two balls in a row he's been
26:35put into the crowd one ball to go let's see what he can do
26:40inside edge drags it legs side they'll come back for the second no what a
26:51wonderful innings Bukka Saman 55 of 32 Pakistan get to 176 for 4 of the 20
27:02Pakistan put into bad and Baba Razan started off really well 39 of 34
27:09Rizwan then took over 67 but it was all down to Fakar Zaman 55 of 32 with four
27:19sixes in Pakistan with an extremely competitive total 176
27:27and the good thing is that Australia's got Dave on strike so it's gonna beat the
27:40outside part of the bat where the French a right-hander it's swinging late it's
27:45only at the stumps at the pads at the stumps it's a positive for the Australians
27:53yeah and and some might go old lefty yes tactically it's particularly important
27:59you get a guy who's left arm can swing it if you have left right it's a
28:04responsibility of the lefty to try and see see how he goes against him
28:10why less deliveries that are gonna be threatening pad in the way of your right
28:15hand inside edge outside edge such a great sign even with the skill of Shane
28:22Shafridi
28:35delivered it struck the target and just like that Pakistan get started
28:42and there goes the average
28:45on the money first ball look how late this ball moves just before it pitches
28:50that is too good too good for just about every right hander what a star
28:58Shahin Shafridi doesn't miss the mark
29:02Finch gone first ball for a duck Australia one for one
29:12had to look at his strike rate in the tournament is in pretty good is in early
29:16get your front pad out the way
29:18get your front pad out the way
29:20oh that's out is it that's gotta be out
29:23surely oh wow
29:26he's not giving him out
29:28we're going upstairs i bet you we are
29:43jeez
29:45butts grounded buttsman is in
29:49so let's move on i've already checked the front foot and it's a fair delivery
29:53so let's move on to front on spin vision please
29:56ball trucker coming up now chris ball pitching umpire score on impact umpire score the wickets
30:09you'll be staying with your original decision of not out i'll tell you when you're on screen
30:13you're on screen now signal cool as ice chris gaffney
30:18it says everybody calm down i got this
30:31goodness gracious
30:38have we taken off yet because this place is sizzling
30:44this is outrageous bowling look at this just before it pinches it swings my gosh how do you play this
30:58shot beautifully played stands tall mitchell marsh and through the covers for four
31:06mitchell marsh not letting shanesha fruity dictate you could see he waited for the ball not to swing
31:14in the front foot
31:21aggression to take shine sharp reading on look at that intent on the front foot pushing forward
31:28right under his eyes
31:32hold behold
31:34i feel that as well harris ralph niron facing lefties come on
31:42waha bria's early on he used to swing it when they swing it how tough it is how tough to
31:50reverse the pressure from up at the top absolutely with a brand new ball when it's swinging the good
31:55thing is when i'm facing waha bria's in the world cup in 2015 that ball had stopped swinging thank
32:00gosh there's one less thing i can worry about but shane charfredi when the ball is swinging like
32:05this it's so challenging just hope that he makes a couple errors but at the moment he hasn't
32:12oh hurry hurry
32:18didn't quite get a hold of it shut up khan is pretty good a backward point quickly in
32:28shadow khan great anticipation there gonna try and create an opportunity there and that's as a bowler
32:37that's what you want your fielders to be on right on top of the ball to try and create something as
32:43well as not just shane charfredi bowling those wicket-taking balls
32:47see this over so far the ball stops swinging so afridi's gone to a change of pace
32:57a few more variations
33:01right up there searching three done it's 13 for one
33:11key man warner and important that he has made it through this period this is a look at the wicket
33:27does enough swings late dave warner match up make the most of it
33:32he's doing it the best way out
33:36bang six
33:36bang six
33:37dave warner
33:39beautifully struck
33:40dave warner he knows this is his man to take down the power play
33:46imad would just be hoping he's going to mitch marsh
33:49off spinner sits up in the wicket and dave warner stands dead still
33:55powers through the line of the ball
33:58not trying to over hit it like what Dave Warner did against the West Indies not
34:04trying to over hit the ball it's got power to burn stand still react
34:10and again this time offside four runs David Warner that is really really good
34:20Dave Warner stay still hits the leg side the ball before and this one gives him
34:28a touch room knowing it's gonna be a bit flatter pieces the field now the mud is
34:36under pressure where is he gonna go to he's got to try and get out of this over
34:41without it being too big a one it's only got two men out what what about that for
34:51manipulation of the ball I'll hit it where I like because I can fine touch from
34:58Warner Dave Warner is working over in Mademois over playing with these field
35:07playing with these ball options
35:09wow Mitchell Marsh with power gets in on the act
35:19welcome to the semi-final Harris Ralph bang it into the top of the stumps and Mitch Marsh was all over it
35:28wow
35:3174 meters that would have put a hole in the fence if it hit it
35:37jolt him a touch must collect himself and try and get back
35:43he's just trying to get started and look at this
35:48off the edge he's bowled a decent ball
35:51six and four ten off to Australia responding
36:00and it's great to see from Australia's perspective Baba Azan starting to lose
36:04lose his cool a little bit there wasn't happy with the position of Imad Wazim or
36:09his effort there that was a great effort but Harris Ralph the speed on the ball
36:15flies across flies across the ground Baba Azan some questions being asked
36:25two impars vastly experienced and well thought of all around the world
36:32and Chris Gaffney's already made a brilliant decision this evening albeit a decision that was
36:38on a knife edge and could have gone either way here's the consistent Hasan Ali bowling to Mitchell Marsh
36:45oh that's not a good delivery
36:47that's what I meant about Mitchell Marsh now this is he's become a man you can see it in his cricket at the moment
36:53he really is working out how to do it right
36:58I mean the confidence to smash the bad ball to assert himself on the opponent as he did to Harris Ralph first up
37:06and run hard between the wickets
37:13oh very high this is a difficult chance steady yourself and catch it oh he does
37:19oh I say shut up Khan works the oracle
37:25Asif Ali is the man who's taking the catch and suddenly Pakistan can leap about again
37:31and why not because this partnership with the King threatening this is the wrong one
37:38he thought that he might hit it to the shorter end of the boundary
37:42but it didn't quite come off the pitch as he wanted so he gets an edge
37:46that was not an easy catch you can see the way the ball was moving in the air coming down the velocity
37:53under the lights you can never pick that quite right 28 to him
37:57Steve Smith I don't think he ever really plays a sort of orthodox block he's got lucky that'll race for four
38:04you know that there is no slip in position he's gonna throw his bad at it now
38:11required rate is more than nine and over
38:16don't want it to go into double figures so
38:19the Australians eight wickets in hand they're gonna look to throw their bats at everything now
38:24that's incredible strength
38:34wait a minute what's happening
38:37so so the six counts it's a no ball because it bounced twice and it's a free hit
38:49but I think the ball got stuck in his hand
38:52and so it bounced a couple of times and was enough for one or two line it up
38:58and now it's a free hit
39:06a little fumble oh
39:08just wheels off for a moment here for the men in green
39:11I don't think I've ever seen that before
39:13have you a double bouncer hit for six?
39:15no this is the first time first time
39:21down comes David Warner and out of the ground goes the cricket ball
39:27what a strike what a batsman
39:31and what terrific use of his feet
39:34he didn't want to get too close to the ball because the intention was always to hit it up in the air
39:39so he's given himself just that little bit of room
39:43and he's got under the ball and hit it over
39:46magnificent shot magnificent footwork as well
39:50see old saying
39:52all this temporary class is permanent
39:55now Smith goes high
39:57we wait with bated breath
40:01and we applaud
40:03another Skyer is taken
40:05another moment for these Pakistan supporters to enjoy
40:10he has to play in this format of the game but that is not his strength
40:14playing across the line
40:15we're going to go for the slot sweep
40:18didn't quite get up the middle of the bat
40:19he knows it as soon as he's made the connection
40:21the fielder is running in
40:24not even on the boundary
40:26so you see how
40:28terrible the connection was
40:31well
40:33Dave Smith has gone for five
40:34Australia have lost their third for 77
40:35he hustles into the wicket
40:43oh, Warren has got him, Warren is getting everybody
40:52yes I think he's the guy they'll target
40:54even because he holds at just the right pace
40:57he holds just the right lengths
40:59for them to go for these
41:01shots, use his pace, use his line
41:03yes, he's wondering what's happened
41:08that's what happens in T20 cricket
41:17oh, it would have been out by miles
41:19Glenn Maxwell not picking the left-handed fielder
41:22simple as that
41:24and it would have been
41:27oh, close to the end of the world
41:29if he'd run out David Warner
41:31yes, he's hit it
41:33to his throwing side
41:34and he calls him for a run
41:35there was no run in it
41:37no run he would have been
41:39well
41:41edge and gone, Shadab off to the break
41:46massive wicket
41:47massive wicket
41:57this is a huge wicket
42:00little outside edge there
42:03Shad
42:06I want to call him Shaddy because that's his nickname
42:08but Shad had gone, he knew it
42:10Dave Warner knew it
42:12and that is a massive wicket for Pakistan
42:17Warner's gone for 49
42:19one shy of his 50
42:20he was fantastic tonight
42:22Australia are now 89 for 4
42:25Marcus Stoinis walks in
42:28and suddenly this match has shifted again
42:31Shadab Khan getting a huge wicket
42:33huge wicket
42:37the only batter so far from the Australian unit
42:40who was playing well against spin
42:43Shadab has 3 for 15
42:45and I reckon he has to watch out for that wrong one straight away
42:50and Baba's also just put himself into first slip straight away
42:54sensing a possibility of a wicket here
42:57good shot really gutsy shot to get off the mark
43:07there's a lot of throwing going on
43:12it's all going to quiet down right now
43:15I don't quite know what to say
43:18what do you think about that?
43:20this is Warner's just just walked away
43:23so he thought he's nicked it
43:25but evidence on that seems that he's missed it by long way
43:31great fielding
43:33it did look like the bowler and the keeper both went up straight away
43:38they may have heard something there's sometimes there's a bit of a click in the bat in the bat handle
43:42that's daylight isn't it?
43:45there's a long way
43:46but you can see straight away
43:50no, Maxwell goes reverse and he's gone straight to the man
43:55that is some catch
43:57shut up
43:59fourth wicket
44:03I wasn't on my feet but I am now
44:06that is some catch
44:08max all going for the reverse sweep we spoke earlier that he can play it really well he got that wall in front of square Harris Roth with great hands
44:20under pressure that is a fantastic catch
44:23Shadab Khan
44:26Shadab Khan he looks to the heavens he's fantastic tonight Maxwell has gone for seven Australia on 96 for five
44:34Matthew Wade chop to do Shadab on the other hand he's been brilliant
44:40brilliant
44:45to be left side
44:47oh just over
44:49Shadab just thought he'd got another one with that sail over
44:55this is what Marcus doing this is good at
44:57if you are in his area he will hit you
45:00Australia just lost the wicked of Maxwell that doesn't bother Marcus doing us he says bullet in my area and I'll hit you out of the park
45:06I'll hit you out of the park
45:11oh so well if he hits no
45:16there's that man again shut up
45:19enjoyed being in the come box with you
45:25should have racing in John T road style picks it up one hand
45:29Matthew Wade he was dead and buried
45:32makes it down the ground flat and one bounce into the fence power hit
45:42chance chance oh he's missed again the direct hit hasn't come for Pakistan
45:49there's so much happening in this game
46:03couple close opportunities for Pakistan in the last two overs we saw one from Shadab and this time
46:10fantastic from shine Shaya Fridi off his own bowling go and pick it up turn blind aim at the stumps
46:19Michael before Michael before does go for for
46:27the pressure
46:31this is the over the Australians are going to be targeting person Ali
46:34he needs to be perfectly on the money to be effective too wide change of pace too full
46:44Marcus Stoinis didn't try and overheat it he's still able to get his back going through the line of the ball through the covers
46:50and the way it's going it's looking like it could get down to that
46:53say that's miles not here tonight unfortunately for the Australians either is my passing in
47:01Marcus Stoinis will be looking to get into the line of Harris Ralph to better try and target that smaller side
47:08that smaller side
47:15very well feeling extremely well feeling short
47:2039 years of age
47:23show with Malik what a piece of work
47:2739 years young
47:29hustling around the boundary
47:32Marcus Stoinis definitely would have thought that that was going to the boundary
47:36that's gone that's a good contact from Marcus Stoinis short side of the boundary
47:49Harris Ralph change of pace into the wicket
47:52and you could see Marcus Stoinis just hold his position
47:57and allow the ball to sit up into the wicket and didn't try to overheat it
48:02not letting the situation overall him stand still watch the ball and react
48:11his best balls in it leg stump your green leg stump in the wicket it's got a ball his best ball
48:23lovely strike brutal
48:27can't stop it
48:28can't stop it
48:31and when you go straight even with the attempt at York it's risk reward
48:35it is
48:37Harris going for his best ball and he was so close to it
48:41but the power of Marcus Stoinis
48:44standing dead still into off stump
48:46dead still into off stump
48:47dead still into off stump
