End of over 8 (6 runs) Australia 66/1 (91 runs required from 12 overs, RR: 8.25, RRR: 7.58)

UT Khawaja41 (31b 5x4 1x6)
SPD Smith2 (2b 0x4 0x6)
Shuvagata Hom1-0-6-0
Saqlain Sajib1-0-9-0
 

Ganesh Tiwrari: "Couple of wickets at the interval of 2 overs and BAN are back in the game..."

 
7.6
Shuvagata Hom to Khawaja, 1 run, finishes an over where he might have bowled a bit too straight with another one that was too straight. Khawaja wokrs it through midwicket
7.5
Shuvagata Hom to Smith, 1 run, neatly worked behind square leg
7.4
Shuvagata Hom to Khawaja, 1 run, down the track for a tuck around the corner to deep square leg
 

Jasir: "The only reason I think Khawaja gets a place ahead of Finch is the absolute confidence and pride he bats with. Surely Australia have immense trust in him that he wont throw his wicket!"

 
7.3
Shuvagata Hom to Smith, 1 run, moves back to a good length ball on leg stump and finds a single at short fine leg
7.2
Shuvagata Hom to Watson, 1 run, OUT, ooh, that's tight! Could Watson be run out? Especially after nailing this pull shot. It was short, it was given its due treatment, but the batsmen get greedy. Watson comes back for a second, and he was always struggling. Sabbir sends in a rocket throw from deep midwicket and Mushfiqur does the rest

SR Watson run out 21 (15b 2x4 1x6) SR: 140.00
7.1
Shuvagata Hom to Khawaja, 1 run, closes the face too early and his leading edge goes to ground and actually travels all the way to deep cover
