00:00How are they going to tackle Ajmal here? They're going to milk him, 5-6 and over.
00:03They're going to still keep on attacking. Finch is the man in strike.
00:10Easy, easy!
00:14Yeah, I think they're backing themselves that there'll be enough bowling to get after.
00:22Right. Who do they pick? They pick Seil Ajmal.
00:25A hundred runs, this partnership now, in 51 balls.
00:30Push the boundary ropes back. The question is, how far back?
00:3565 from 23, and I'll tell you what, he's not breathing heavily either. He's calm.
00:40Maxwell, 104 from 51, then he'd 80 from 64.
00:44Backward square.
00:46Now he goes over again!
00:49Now, just a bounce, but still a 4.
00:51Did the world treat Seil Ajmal with respect, even reverence?
00:58This young man is saying, no, not quite.
01:0069 of 24.
01:02Now, 76 from 63. This is astonishing.
01:05When we saw Omar Ahmad, we thought we'd seen genuinely great innings.
01:11This one, if anything, is surpassing that.
01:14All right, where's Adusra?
01:16Here it is. Backward stadium.
01:18I think Maxwell was expecting that, with the kind of field.
01:25He was aiming to get that over extra cover.
01:28Just possibly trying it too hard.
01:33Assault from Maxwell.
01:34Oh, what a ball.
01:43Just a reminder that this is indeed Saeed Ajmal.
01:47117 for two.
01:48A little outside edge here. Let's take a look.
01:52I think there might have been.
01:55Yeah, there definitely was.
01:56Ajmal showing why he is such a respected bowler.
02:00Possibly like being revered today, but he is so dangerous.
02:03He is a wicket-taker.
02:04Kamran Ajmal making it a costly area for the Pakistan team.
02:09He is gone. I don't think Bilal Bhakti will go again.
02:11He is gone for 30 in and over.
02:13The best of spinners, none for 25.
02:17Murdered the spinners.
02:17How does he go with the quicker men?
02:22It's a good ball.
02:23Now, has he got all of that in the fielder there?
02:29Oh, he's put it down!
02:32Saeed Ajmal, what have you done?
02:36He had three chances at it.
02:37He got two of those and popped down on the third.
02:39The ball was lobbing in the air.
02:42It had a lot of time.
02:44Have Pakistan put this match down?
02:48Yeah, it's a low, full toss.
02:49Altar Dior's dump.
02:50Hard to hit anywhere.
02:52Ajmal just very slow to come off and finds the ball dropping in front of him.
02:56Oh!
02:58Oh, shot.
02:59There's a man on the boundary, though, so just a single.
03:01In Pakistan, he just got a couple of quiet overs here and forced Australia to take some chances again.
03:07Not sure whether he was close enough to catching the ball.
03:10If you don't get your hands up, you'll never know if you're in the right position or not.
03:16In India, play the West Indies later, but this is a spectacle they've come to watch, make no mistake.
03:24Now, suddenly the shots are not reaching the boundary.
03:26Off of 30 over Carnage, there's one of just three from Zulfikar Babur.
03:32This man got 1730 balls against Australia.
03:35Maxwell's on 72 from 29.
03:38That was in 2007.
03:40This is 2014.
03:43No timing again.
03:45They'll get the single.
03:49I think Australia's almost in two minds now.
03:51I mean, they've got themselves into such a strong position, but they were going hard at the ball every time.
03:55Now they're almost thinking, well, rate required, just under eight and over.
03:58We don't have to do what we've been doing.
04:00We can afford to take more singles, but four overs ago, there was just, there was only one gear.
04:05So they've almost taken their foot off.
04:07Still trying to play big shots, but not quite coming off.
04:12Again, no timing on it.
04:14All of a sudden, it's gone somewhere else.
04:16Five of the over.
04:18Eleven gone.
04:19And it's 122 for two.
04:21I think the problem with them is how good the two off-spinners, Hafiz and Ajmal, they've just gone through with the turn, haven't they?
04:28So they've got Afridi on.
04:3370 from nine overs.
04:34It's still not the easiest run chase.
04:37But you need to look at it in the context of what's already happened.
04:39Well, having said that, we haven't seen too many small boundaries today, certainly from Australia.
04:45Right, what's going to happen here?
04:46Afridi.
04:48There he goes.
04:50And will be stopped.
04:51Now, will they come back for a second?
04:52Want to throw?
04:52They won't.
04:57That's Ahmed Shahzad.
04:59Shahzad, Umar Akmal, the two finest fielders in this Pakistan side.
05:05Afridi's still pretty good, but he's bowling.
05:07The last eight runs have been in singles.
05:18Who is Pakistan's best all-rounder?
05:22I'm amazed that there's 47% who haven't said Afridi.
05:26He's just so popular.
05:29Pinch has called him for the single.
05:31And he's done well.
05:32Now, has he changed his line, though?
05:33They're taking a second.
05:34Pakistan.
05:35The Stiff's just stood on another one.
05:39Did he change his line, though?
05:40Did he come in line with the ball, but didn't hit him?
05:43But not allowed to do that.
05:45The umpire's got to rule on that.
05:46He hasn't.
05:46He thinks it's fine.
05:47The right-hand side of the wicket, so when Maxwell's played the shot, he's actually in Finch's path.
05:55Oh, direct hit.
05:56Would have been in trouble.
05:57Shahzad, umpire, not very happy.
05:58It's his spinning hand.
05:59Oh, there are bits around them for sure.
06:01Australia, they stole that second.
06:03It should never have been.
06:05Oh, I think he's got all of that.
06:07Or hasn't he?
06:08No, there's a field underneath.
06:10Here's the breakthrough for Pakistan.
06:12And even as Pakistan celebrate that dismissal, I think it's time to celebrate what's been an extraordinary innings from Glenn Maxwell.
06:2274 from 33.
06:25Might just be the innings of the match in spite of Umar Akmal's brilliance.
06:28He's gone.
06:29It's 1.26 for three.
06:30Is it celebration or relief?
06:43That's a bit of both.
06:45In fact, a lot of both.
06:48Just a little more relief than celebration there.
06:58Right.
06:58Got the first ball through.
07:00A couple of quiet ones in.
07:06So that's a good over from Fridi.
07:10It is 1.26 for three.
07:12Baba, they want another wicket here.
07:27That's 12 ball.
07:28Just gave himself too much room.
07:30Is this match turning again.
07:3166 from 47.
07:32Another wicket will be very handy for Pakistan.
07:37That's really well balled.
07:39Bench does go very early.
07:40Oh dear.
07:41Oh dear.
07:41That'll just take the pressure away.
07:48Just a nice, simple full toss on legs down.
07:50A boundary of 17 balls.
07:51Easy, easy, easy, easy.
07:548.3 at this stage.
07:58Yes, sir.
07:59That's what a wicket does.
08:00That's a single to get out of the mark.
08:086 from the over.
08:096 from the over.
08:1013 gone.
08:10The result after that first over.
08:12You're 8 for 2.
08:14Chasing 192.
08:15Most sides would have been on the back foot.
08:17Not Australia.
08:18Not Australia.
08:19Sirida Freedy.
08:20Oh, I want to get a couple of point overs in.
08:26It's starting to nudge 9 now.
08:28The asking rate.
08:298.8.
08:30There's some batting to come.
08:38Brad Hodge.
08:39Brad Haddon.
08:42Oh, he's taken that off his leg stump.
08:46Really think...
08:47He just got to anchor it from here.
08:5159 from 40.
08:59It's a clan Mushta.
09:00Invest in these colours.
09:05No, no, no, no.
09:06This is an excellent spell.
09:08For, uh, for Pakistan here.
09:12Looked for a while that Australia were taking the game away with them.
09:18Oh, balled up Freedy.
09:23I'm quite surprised they're trying to play him through the offside.
09:25Because he's not a big ripper and gripper of the ball.
09:28The ball just kind of hurries on.
09:30Give yourself room.
09:31But there's nothing really to work with.
09:33Let's win this match.
09:35Now, we'll just clear the field.
09:37Yes, it will.
09:38Now, Ubar Gul.
09:39Not only that, it's gone for four.
09:41Let's get the field in.
09:42Should you have caught it?
09:43Yes, he actually didn't look at the ball at all.
09:45He turned around and it almost hit him on the head.
09:48If you watch here, the ball almost dropped on top of him.
09:50He thought it had gone way over him.
09:52Made it badly.
09:54There's lots of speed on the ball.
09:55There's lots of speed on the bat.
09:56But, Gul, if he had looked up, yeah, he really could have put an effort.
10:02That man tells you so.
10:03I'm absolutely certain he's not completely fit here, Ubar Gul.
10:11So, they get six of that over.
10:1314 overs gone.
10:14It's 138 for three.
10:16Now, 54 of the last six.
10:18Still come back to Sayeed Ajmal after two bad overs.
10:20This game is wide open.
10:21Ravi Shastri and Rameez Raja in commentary.
10:24Thank you, Arsha.
10:25Six to go.
10:27Now, can Pakistan turn it around?
10:29That's the million-dollar question.
10:33We definitely can because there's still Ajmal who's got two crucial overs up his sleeves.
10:38He's a bowler who can get you wickets.
10:44You can see, straight away asking questions.
10:47And, you know, credit to Maxwell because, you know,
10:49he put some good deliveries over the boundary.
10:53And there were some terrific shots.
10:55It was quite an amazing innings from him.
11:03He'll go flat.
11:04He'll go straighter.
11:06He'll bowl a lot of dosras.
11:09Because he's got this great range, Sayeed Ajmal.
11:12You give him the ball in the first five, he'll bowl differently.
11:16He'll come back in the crunch moments.
11:17And even a bowler, even a champion of his class needs a bit of lift at times.
11:21So that's good thinking from Hafiz.
11:23Because he's been pulverized today by Australia.
11:27Hardly ever see him go for 25-2.
11:29But this is the best time for him to bowl, really.
11:35Because it's a kind of situation which he can rise to.
11:44It'll be interesting to see if Pakistan use him in the last over.
11:48Gets that away.
11:52Still only a single.
11:54Pakistan won't mind that.
11:56These are some good overs being strung together.
12:01Oh, lucky.
12:02Outside edge.
12:03Right from the bottom of the bat.
12:0650 for Finch.
12:08And eight of the over.
12:09146 for three.
12:10Now Finch has reached the half century.
12:15And a wicket first ball.
12:16A 3D strikes.
12:20Much needed for Pakistan.
12:22This game opens up again.
12:25It's the Australian captain who has to depart.
12:29Just struggling with his timing out there.
12:31And Pakistan getting the breakthrough.
12:34Bailey goes for four.
12:35It's 146 for four.
12:37Having to play well here to win this game.
12:41There's wrong choice of shot.
12:43The ball just skidding through after pitching.
12:45Shattering the stumps.
12:49Looking for another one here.
12:52Don't forget that.
12:55That's well struck.
12:56He's found the boundary.
12:59The 150 comes up.
13:01And that's the advantage of having a set batsman out there.
13:06Because he sized up Afridi.
13:08Very nicely this time.
13:10Cleared his front leg because he wasn't this one to spin away from him.
13:14Got it right in the middle of the bat.
13:16And found the gap also.
13:17Good strike from Finch.
13:19Getting a timely four.
13:21Yes, they needed that boundary.
13:25That'll bring Pakistan right back in it.
13:27Not out of it by any stretch of imagination.
13:31And it's been one hell of a contest.
13:37Last ball of Afridi's spell.
13:42That's a good spell.
13:43Two for 30 from four.
13:44It's 153 for four.
13:46Every dot ball increases the required rate.
13:51It's now almost a 9.75.
13:54So a good dot from Afridi.
13:55The last ball of the spell.
13:58He's come to Pakistan's rescue in the last couple of overs.
14:01Sliced away on the offside.
14:05He'll get only a single but he'll get Finch on strike.
14:08That's what Australia need now in that innings.
14:12That was the highlight of his innings.
14:14His sixth inning.
14:15Really.
14:16It wasn't boundaries or running between the wigger.
14:18It was a good score.
14:20He had only missed a sitter.
14:30This was tremendous fielding effort.
14:33What a catch.
14:34It went flat like lightning bolt.
14:38And it met Saeedajmal in no time.
14:40Well, this could be a game-turning event here.
14:43Hodge picked up in the deep.
14:45Brad Haddon comes out to the middle.
14:47So, again, experience replacing experience.
14:52This is well struck.
14:54Walk again for Ajmal in the deep.
15:00He's become a hero again, Saeedajmal.
15:02This time with this breathtaking catch.
15:05This ball was flying.
15:07Sliced by Hodge.
15:08And had it gone mere six inches there or there.
15:11It could have been a flat six.
15:12But look at Saeedajmal.
15:14Taking it on the run.
15:16And he absolutely loved it.
15:19Chaunty Rhodes, who's in our commentary box.
15:22He would have been mighty proud of that effort.
15:28Made it look so easy.
15:31Still so much left in this game.
15:32Here's goal.
15:36Finch gets it away on the onside.
15:38Finds the boundary.
15:38That's the shorter side of the ground.
15:43And the ball raced away.
15:47That's much better.
15:48Further up.
15:50Wider.
15:50That's well bowled.
15:51Eight of the over.
15:52It's 161 for five.
15:54Three to go.
15:55Everyone on the edge of their seats at the moment.
16:01This could be the make or break over.
16:04If he goes for, say, six or seven, it could be kind of a small win for Pakistan.
16:10This is such an important over.
16:17He's got the variety.
16:18And the good thing is he's bowling to a new man, Haddon.
16:23Haddon can struggle a bit early on against spin.
16:26Yet he knows he's got to get the big hit away.
16:33Easy, easy, easy.
16:35And gets away from the strike.
16:37Gives Finch the strike.
16:40That is pretty poor from Pakistan.
16:42Because they needed to have the newcomer on strike.
16:45And an easy single was conceded.
16:48Three men patrolling the boundary on the onside.
16:53Oh, another dark ball.
16:55Precious.
16:55In a situation like this.
16:57The offside.
17:01Here goes Ajmal.
17:03Balled in.
17:06Right up into the block hole.
17:09And it's a set.
17:10Batsman Finch dismissed.
17:13Pakistan will sense.
17:14They have a great opportunity now.
17:16Talking quality here.
17:18The straighter ball.
17:19This time it wasn't the douche rub.
17:21But a pacey straighter one.
17:22Bowled at over 106 kph.
17:24Hitting the leg stump.
17:26And yeah, a joyous moment for Seyed Ajmal.
17:29Keeping his cool and calm.
17:32And how calm he was under pressure.
17:34Tenile out there.
17:37And we're looking for the onside.
17:39And Ajmal will be quite happy with this.
17:41What an over at this state of the game.
17:43At this stage of the game.
17:44Just one run of five balls.
17:46Misses.
17:49Misses.
17:50Excellent over this for Pakistan.
17:54Australia need 30 of 12.
17:56It's 162 for six.
18:00Struck away on the onside.
18:02He'll get only a single.
18:04That's what Pakistan have to do.
18:06They've got to make sure they bowl to their field.
18:08And this is a classic T20 contest.
18:13191 for five.
18:14Pakistan, Australia.
18:15163 for six.
18:18And make that seven.
18:21They're hitting the stumps.
18:22They're bowling straight.
18:23They're bowling full.
18:24And they're shattering the stumps at the moment.
18:28And the hopes of Australia.
18:3129 needed.
18:33Still 10 balls remaining.
18:35And number seven.
18:36Makes his way back to the dugout.
18:38Two balls.
18:39This was nice and full from Omar Goli.
18:41Is that a good day?
18:43He's kept it nice and simple.
18:45And look at the elation.
18:47Pakistan marching on.
18:49Still runs coming in.
18:57Just singles at the moment.
18:59Sussou.
19:02Again finding the fielder in the deep.
19:05He'll get two this time.
19:09That's not what Australia need.
19:11Australia need some big hits.
19:13They need boundaries and sixes.
19:1528.
19:1626 needed of eight.
19:18At this stage.
19:18Of Saeed Ajmal.
19:20He was hammered in this first couple of overs.
19:22But bounced back.
19:23Taking a good catch.
19:24Getting a couple of wickets.
19:25Still following suit.
19:28Excellent over.
19:30Still one ball left though.
19:31In this over.
19:32Omar Goli and Saeed Ajmal knew that Australians were looking for big shots.
19:38India next.
19:40And Ms Dhoni and his men will take on the Windies.
19:44But it has been an enjoyable encounter.
19:46We've gone into the last over one ball.
19:53And we are into the last over of the game of the contest.
19:55And still really can't pick a winner.
19:58Australia can still, through some magical shots, win this.
20:03Here and well fielded in the deep.
20:11Keeps the batsman down to two.
20:13Another excellent over this from Omar.
20:15The ball the last he didn't.
20:17Hafiz is...
20:18Is in his ear asking him to just keep it nice and straight.
20:25Ball as straight as possible.
20:26Not look for variations.
20:28Just look for the yorker length.
20:29Keep it simple.
20:30Full fold.
20:32Excellent delivery.
20:33And long one will cut it off.
20:39Iron step up.
20:42Oh put down.
20:45And luckily the ball not going through.
20:47Just the single and a run out.
20:51Mitchell Stark wanting to give the strike back.
20:53To Brad Haddon.
20:58Now Freedy was the man throwing it.
21:00He reacted smartly.
21:01Slide it and threw at the right end also.
21:04And well Stark had no chance.
21:05No hope.
21:06The idea was right.
21:07Because Australia need Haddon on strike.
21:10But striking big was Shahida Freedy.
21:20Fine.
21:21So that's the equation then.
21:22Australia in need of massive blows.
21:26To play.
21:27With that extra delivery.
21:28So obviously that's one of the things Mahmoud Hafiz would have told him.
21:34You don't have to try anything spectacular here.
21:36Is this a lakeside flick?
21:40Won't get six.
21:42In fact it's taken in the deep.
21:46So Pakistan can really celebrate now.
21:49They've worked really hard to come back in this contest.
21:54They patted beautifully.
21:55But then Maxwell for a moment took it away.
21:58And now Haddon dismissed.
22:00For eight.
22:01Pakistan looking to finish the formalities.
22:03One ball remaining now.
22:06One ball remaining now.
22:09Brad Hodge is back on strike.
22:10The last man dismissed.
22:13Yeah.
22:13It hit the bottom part of the bat.
22:15And Shreve Malik gathered his steps.
22:19Came in and took a nice low catch.
22:21It's a wonderful performance.
22:24A real mood lifter.
22:26Not only for Pakistan cricket team.
22:28But also their fans.
22:30They were dejected after getting thrashed by India.
22:33This is a very fine comeback.
22:35Just at the right time.
22:36Beating a very good Australian side.
22:39Nice way to finish.
22:43It's Pakistan who won a thriller here.
22:45They beat in Australia.
22:47And by beating them by 16 runs.
22:50They keep their hopes alive.
22:52In the World T20.
22:54They lost to India.
22:55But showed great character here today.
22:58In batting well first.
22:59And then when Maxwell was going.
23:02Things were not looking good.
23:03Ajmal and Umar Gol have bounced back and beaten Australia.
23:12So a terrific game of cricket.
23:14Wonderful entertainment.
23:16And the Australians will have to say that they were beaten by a better side today.
23:23Umar Akmal, one of the stars for Pakistan.
23:27Outstanding innings for him.
23:28One of the highest in one day cricket for Pakistan.
23:32But in the end of it all.
23:36Pakistan winning by 16 runs.
23:40Good result there for Pakistan.
23:42Because they were under pressure going into this game.
23:44Because they already lost their first game against India.
23:47But they bounced back well here tonight.
23:49Winning by 16 runs.
23:50And Australia now find themselves in a little bit of pressure.
23:53We don't normally see that for an Australian side.
23:57But you've got to say.
23:58They held their nerves boys.
23:59JB, you know, when Maxwell was out there batting.
24:03We were 102 off eight overs.
24:06Yes.
24:07I mean, that was a game that we had in the bag.
24:10With that rollicking period of play with Finch and Maxwell together.
24:14I mean, they'd got to Australia in a position where they only needed probably, what, eight runs and over from those last 12 overs, if that.
24:23And to lose eight for 73 off those 12 overs, that's the basic stats.
24:28It's very damning.
24:29You know, normally you'll excel.
