Five memorable moments from the Pakistan-Australia match that don't fade away

Steven Smith’s courage

On the other end was Steven Smith. While he is one of the best batsmen in the world, his T20I career statistics are somewhat of a disappointment in comparison to his ODI and Test numbers. However, today, he showed his class by playing a match-defining innings of 61 in 43 balls.

However, his innings will be remembered for his 1 orthodox shot off Wahab Riaz. He crowned this magnificent performance with a notorious shot as he stood way outside off-stump, exposing all three stumps to the bowler. Riaz bowled it way wide on the off side, he managed to steer the ball on the leg side for a boundary.

It has to be said, though, that the bowler should have aimed at the leg stump instead of falling in Smith’s trap and following him. But, nonetheless, Smith’s execution was perfect, making it a moment that won’t fade away.
