Renshaw's strong start and partnership with Steven Smith forced Yasir Shah to bowl a large bulk of the overs early on, particularly since Rahat Ali was pretty expensive. Shah strangely bowled with a leg side field and had as many as 6 on the leg side for lefties Warner and Renshaw.

He was rewarded, though, when Usman Khawaja, who walked in after Warner was dismissed, flicked Yasir straight to Misbah-ul-Haq at short mid-wicket. It was a typical ODI style dismissal with Khawaja not bothering to keep his flick down.

The ploy was used to tempt the Australian batsmen to attack Yasir, and Khawaja fell into the trap.
