Man of the Match
Brad Haddin
Commentry
That’s it from the action for today! Two really good games. The Road Safety T20 World Series continues on 19th September as India Legends take on New Zealand Legends. That game will begin at 1930 IST (1400 GMT). Our build up though begins much earlier. Do join us. Till then, goodbye and take care.
Brad Haddin wins the Man of the Match award for his brisk innings of 58 runs. He starts by saying that he is exhausted. Adds it was really good fun and the crowd helped him a lot. Mentions it was his first catch in 12 months. Adds they surely enjoyed but does not know how will he be tomorrow. Ends by saying the crowd were amazing and its quite surprising to see them cheer two 45 year olds at the crease.
Shane Watson, the skipper of Australia is in for a chat. He starts by saying it was a great game of cricket, as it went down to the wire. Mentions the wicket was really good, a little bit of dew in play as well. Adds that he enjoys whenever he is out at the crease and hopes to relieve some of the best moments of his career. Adds they need to make a little adjustments going into the next match but now they will enjoy their break.
Mohammad Sharif, the captain of Bangladesh Legends says that it was a great game and their batters batted well and they could have done better with the bat at the top of the order. However, he is proud to be part of this game. Tells that they could not bowl well in the end and the match was in their hands but adds that it could not happen. Says that they would try to be better in the next game.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
This game was about two people, Elias Sunny, who took Bangladesh to a competitive score after they were struggling at one point. He was the one who got them on top of the game with the ball with a four-fer. However, a special knock from Haddin turned the game in the favor of the Aussies.
Chasing down a mediocre score, despite losing a wicket early, Australia were off to a flier in the Powerplay. However, after that, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. They slipped to 109 for 5 as Sunny was brilliant with the ball. His four-fer took his side on top. There though was a special knock loading from Haddin who stayed there till the end and helped his side get over the line in the very last over.
What a knock that was from Haddin! Absolutely brilliant! Take a bow! Have to say, he has single-handedly taken his side over the line. Australia seemed down and out at 109 for 6 but Haddin, has played a special knock, a half ton to remember to take his side over the line. Bangladesh will be heart-broken. They really gave Australia a run for their money but this could well be a morale deflating loss for them.

FOUR! Brad Haddin has done it, he has won it for Australia Legends! Wow, Brad Haddin you beauty! Hasan bowls it full and on middle. Haddin slogs it towards the deep mid-wicket region. It travels quickly and goes past the diving deep mid-wicket fielder to reache the fence. Aussies rejoice as they win this game by 3 wickets!
