#2 Snatching victory from a difficult situation
Chasing a target of 264 for victory, the Aussies were comfortably placed at 158-2 in the second innings. David Warner was cruising at 112 and he, along with Smith, looked like sailing Australia to safe waters.
But, the Bangladeshis never gave up. Mushfiqur persisted with spinners from both ends. Even though some chances went begging, the hosts knew that one wicket would expose a relatively inexperienced batting line-up to the likes of Shakib and Mehidy. And that's exactly how it turned out to be.
David Warner's wicket opened the gates for the hosts and they never looked back. They ran through the remaining batsmen quickly and registered a win that seemed unlikely up to 42nd over. They need to be appreciated for their fighting spirit and this close win will give them much confidence going ahead.
