00:00Game 2 here at Edgbaston, Ease My Trip World Championships of Legends, Australia champions
00:17up against Pakistan champions, should be a cracking game.
00:20Pakistan winning the toss and deciding that they're gonna bowl first.
00:26Australia with Finch and Marsh up top, Ben Dunk, powerful left-hander Payne and Callum
00:32Ferguson.
00:34This is the powerhouse in the middle of Ben Cutting, Dan Krishnan, Ben Lachlan and it's
00:37a good pace.
00:38Brett Lee, I like Xavier Darty, he should enjoy this surface, Wakar Yunus alongside me, Pakistan
00:44looks strong.
00:45They indeed are, they've got some really good bowling lineups, Suhail Tanvir, Suhail Khan,
00:52Fabriaz, there's so much experience in there and then of course, Saeed Ajmal right at the
00:57bottom who will bring his dousras and off spins and with so much experience.
01:08Left arm, Suhail Tanvir to left hand, Sean Marsh.
01:13Pakistan winning the toss, electing to field.
01:17A little bit of swing, wide, lovely shot, oh my word what a great shot, Sean Marsh flies
01:27in from Perth, third ball just punches one down the ground for an effortless boundary.
01:34Down the pitch, Aaron Finch not quite out of the middle of the blade but should be good enough,
01:40goes into the rope and Finch is up and running with the boundary.
01:44Oh my word what a beautiful bit of timing that is, right on top of the bounds, footwork
01:50was spot on, Finch is flying.
01:56Beautiful timing, Aaron Finch stays leg side, how often have we seen Aaron Finch just hang
02:00on leg stump and work the ball square through point.
02:06Down the pitch, beautiful from Finch, he's not worried about pace, he's getting down the
02:12surface and key here once again, Watkar staying leg side, accessing the ball through the off.
02:20Very good, Aaron Finch, this time again, uses wrist to get a pass.
02:26Shahid Afridi is inside the ring, raining boundaries here for Australia.
02:30Ah, ah, that is beauty.
02:35Slow delivery, picked it up early and dispatched it for four, nice and straight.
02:41That is a change up, it's going to run away for a four leg bias, I think everything going
02:50the way of Australia right now.
02:54That is going to help, uh, Marci's confidence as well.
03:00Picks out the boundary, just that hint of width.
03:04Nicely done, nicely timed from Finch off the back foot.
03:16Oh, that one has gone straight on, not sure if it's the deuce or whether it's just skidded
03:22on through the gate.
03:25What a fantastic delivery, the pause in the action.
03:31Hint of turn, yeah.
03:34Beaten by the outside edge and was looking to just shut the face up.
03:38No shade too early.
03:40Najmal once again picking up wickets as well.
03:43Happy man, they were looking to get that little partnership broken and they've done that.
03:48Sean Marsh back in the dugout, 16, 69 for one.
03:52Do come into, what a shot that was.
03:58Just, uh, heading through the line, picked the length so early.
04:05Face off again, but Finch waits on this one, places it beautifully.
04:10Down backward a point for four, 79 for one.
04:15Oh, crunched, Ben Dunk, that is absolutely superb.
04:21Bowlers than batters, when he gets that one, gets plenty of that, up into the grandstand.
04:30That's the line he was looking for, Ben Dunk.
04:32Previous two occasions when he attempted the sweep shot, the ball was further away, but underneath the knee, beautifully timed once again.
04:40Going against the spin, but finding the middle of the bat.
04:45Sean Marsh back in the dugout, but Ben Dunk has come with a lot of positive intent and energy.
04:52Picks up four more from the last delivery of the tenth.
04:56Over.
04:57Actually, I didn't apply my brain.
04:58I wanted the best team.
05:00Being an Indian, my family being in England, England team was gone.
05:04I, of course, being an Indian would have preferred the India team, but I just applied my bin, which was, and evaluated the best team.
05:11And I went for that.
05:12Well, there you go, best team indeed.
05:13Look what's happening behind us.
05:15But, um, your team has plenty of, uh, firepower, star power.
05:20Do you think you have what it takes to lift the trophy in 10 days?
05:23Honestly speaking, every team owner would say that.
05:26But at the same time, yes, I mean, all the other teams have been telling me, you know, your team is by far the best.
05:34Another six.
05:39Aaron Finch now has got his teeth nicely, firmly on this Pakistani attack.
05:46Another tall man, and then he got under it.
05:48Only a short boundary.
05:49We know that.
05:50Only 55 meters, but even with big boundaries.
05:55In the air.
05:56Not sure he gets enough of this.
05:58Should be taken.
05:59Is taken.
06:00Well played.
06:03I was just, uh, held, uh, just after the off-stump.
06:07Probably just trying to make room using the depth of the crease.
06:11Didn't get, uh, the kind of, uh, meat behind that ball.
06:14Easy catch or so into me.
06:16So finally, the nemesis departs.
06:18Can Pakistan recover from this?
06:20Aaron Finch got for 68 or Syrian champions.
06:22120 for two.
06:24No one there.
06:25Just clean hit.
06:26Ben Dunn carrying on the good work and, uh, it'll be best for Pakistan to just get him off-strike.
06:37Oh.
06:38Bold.
06:39Big wicket for Shahid Malik.
06:41Just held it back a little bit slower.
06:44Well, there you go.
06:45Dominik Kopp, uh, the weakness in, uh, the batting lineup.
06:48Might be just exposed, uh, with this forget going down.
06:51Dunk departs for 27.
06:53Australian champions.
06:54126 for three.
06:56Oh, beautiful.
06:59What a wonderful shot that is.
07:01Malik went for the wide Yorker.
07:04He put pace on the ball and Dan Christian just slapped it over extra for six.
07:10Nikhil Chopra, you enjoyed it.
07:12Absolutely.
07:13Thriller time.
07:14The last couple of overs.
07:15Yep.
07:16Down on one knee.
07:17Found the middle of the bat.
07:19Enjoy the width on that occasion.
07:21Chait Malik, you can see now towards the end of the innings, the pause in the action.
07:25And really slow.
07:26Just got stuck into the wicket.
07:27Dan Christian can't believe his luck.
07:28He was probably looking at somewhere deep in the stands to us, deep in wicket.
07:30There was no pause in the action, but the ball, the ball definitely paused in the surface.
07:31Almost stood still for a fraction.
07:32Dan Christian nearly puts his back out.
07:34Trying to pump it into the hollies.
07:35Show up Malik.
07:36Good celebration.
07:37Wicket's key at this stage.

14:01there's a risk involved in there and he's picked up another wicket
14:06shajil couldn't help himself was searching for a delivery which was a little bit higher he had to
14:12really get under the ball and and and go over the field couldn't really manage and uh that ball went
14:20straight into the buckets of curtain now second wicket down for pakistan that's 24 for two now
14:29australia in control
14:33sharjil look threatening but has to go back got 17 it's 24 for two
14:43i'm sure malik for you that's the jungle shimmy down the track and timed it beautifully to be honest
14:50i wasn't expecting menace to be bowling uh another over because the first one was very ordinary and
14:56and uh sure malik uh sees that he is not confident he's not really getting uh things right so
15:04attack him a little bit more
15:05there we go there we go there we go maksud now just a lovely pickup shot
15:17yeah just got the elevation and the power behind the shot that maksud was looking for
15:24just the flick of the wrist
15:31beautiful glorious glorious uh cover drive beating the two men covers an extra cover
15:39two pick the length and over deep square like that for six
15:48maksud's heart was definitely in his mouth because he thought that he he didn't clear the field it was
15:56it was a top edge i don't think he got the middle of the bat but uh short boundary on the onside
16:02beautiful shot lovely wristy shot brilliant
16:12now then this should be a wicket bowler calls for it takes it
16:18good from colton isle back of a length and the inform maksud has to go
16:23and the saying is if you lose three wickets within the first six over the chances of a few
16:29winning that game especially in a t20 reduces massively and on this occasion cool tonight not
16:34trusting any of his teammates
16:38and the third wicket go on for the pakistan champions maksud out for 21 of 11 61 for three
16:45that's a beautiful looking shot so just to put into context they were set 593 to win glamorgan they
16:55needed one run off the last ball i think it's james bracy who is keeper has pulled off
17:04such a good shot such a good shot he just allowed it to come on it was a poor line from doherty a fine
17:11sweep now then sliced out to the man should be taken it's a really good catch because the sun was right in his eyes
17:24and 23 of 17 just slicing that one trying to hit it too hard and the bottom hand comes into play but
17:31a very good catch not an easy one because it was coming right off the sun ben cutting taking his second
17:38in the game down the ground chipped there was protection but that's good enough simon duel they
17:45needed it yeah dead straight that was the key from miss bar on that occasion
17:52yeah better goes for the hard sweep i felt that's the option if you're gonna get down on one knee you
17:58gotta go full monty yeah that's great bowling inside edge that's the only thing that could have saved
18:08miss bar it was a beautiful yorker it looked like it was gonna cut it into the pads
18:13a thick inside edge gets missed before
18:18now that that sounded much better and it looked much better
18:21looking for that short boundary leg side great start to the over with free flowing swing of the bat
18:31that's better from miss bar
18:37just taking pace off dan christian
18:41but it is eunice khan who has decided now is the time maximum and all of a sudden now a bit of pressure
18:47on the aussie bowlers getting the ball the reach coming in handy for uniscount a slow ball and enough
18:53time on the middle of the bat and then got the boundary
18:58these guys have been getting enough net sessions
19:0450 up in style as well a little bit of width on offer
19:09and a happy captain
19:1050 from 35 deliveries three fours one six and pakistan under this man's leadership
19:19and just maneuvering themselves into a position to go for victory
19:28oh this goes past extra covers and not a very nice bounce for that extra cover
19:31oh classical absolutely beautiful from eunice khan use of the feet positioning follow through
19:43pressure now back in australia just how he gives himself who goes outside lexdom opening up the entire
19:50offside xavier toherty looking to follow him but we're going to go over the bowler's head that is
19:56classical eunice khan sweet now is it in line it is in line giving out
20:05missed his favorite shot big wicket for australia and the captain eunice khan goes to 63.
20:13trying to pick it from outside the australia to see where the impact was there
20:19was it outside the australia the impact but nevertheless
20:22that's uh xavier doherty picking up that we get really well played for the 63 captain eunice khan
20:28it's a 169 for five
20:33don't worry about boom boom he's done this every time wherever he goes

20:43full and wide but right in the slots in the slots and maximum
20:47miss ball all hack you beauty now the pressure is back on australia and it's pakistan's game to lose

21:05beautifully struck by mizbal
21:07all hack push comes to shove all these guys the big boys find the middle of that
21:15now then has he got enough of it you bet he has what a win for pakistan our 3d finishes it off in
21:21style there's a punch of the air from mizbal all hack in our opening game pakistan have beaten australia

21:35so remember the pakistan champions were set 190 to win this game chargeel started well
21:43kareem akmal went to early on maksud looked good for his 21 from 11 so did shahib malik but it was
21:49that partnership between mizbar all hack and eunice khan 63 for eunice 46 for mizbar and you'll just see
21:57there that 90 from 57 that's exactly why the champions pakistan champions got themselves over
22:06the line with a couple of balls to spare real little partnership there mizbar and eunice and for
22:14bradley started off proceedings really well in his first burst in the first two overs picking up those
22:18two wickets as well in the power play then nathan koolton i'll also chipping in with those two wickets
