This match of ICC T20 World Cup was played on 2 May 2010 in St. Lucia. Australia won the toss and elected to bat first in this match. Shane Watson and David Hussey scored half centuries. With the help of Watson’s 81 runs in 49 balls (7 fours and four sixes) and Hussey’s 53 runs in 29 balls (two fours and five sixes), the Australian team was moving towards a strong score. After 16 overs, the team’s score was 162 runs for two wickets. It seemed that the Kangaroo team would easily cross the score of 200 runs, but in the 17th over, spinner Saeed Ajmal gave a double blow by dismissing Hussey and Watson. In his/her next i.e. 19th over of the innings, Ajmal also sent Cameron White back to the pavilion. Australia were placed at 191 for 5 after 19 overs, but with enough wickets in hand, hopes of reaching the 200 mark remained alive.
