#9 72 vs India (Bridgetown 2010)
David Warner is one of the most feared batsmen in today’s generation regardless of the format and along with all-rounder Shane Watson, he formed a deadly opening combination in limited overs cricket. The duo could go on a rampage right from the outset and rip any bowling attack to shreds in a jiffy.
The Indian bowlers were at the receiving end of the duo’s fury in ICC World T20, 2010, when both Watson and Warner struck blistering fifties. Warner smashed the Indian bowlers all over the park and took a special liking for the bowling of left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, whom he clobbered for sixes effortlessly.
The Aussies lost their way towards the end and mustered only 184 from a position where a 200+ total seemed a certainty. However, the Indian batsmen folded up without displaying even a modicum of fighting spirit and handed the Aussies a humongous victory. For his spectacular 72 off just 42 balls, Warner bagged the Man of the Match award.
