Mike Hussey lit up the semi-final of the ICC World T20 in 2010 by hammering boundaries at will in the last over of Australia's run chase. Pakistan raked up 191/6, with the Akmal brothers – Kamran and Umar – hitting 50 and 56*, respectively. Umar hit 2 fours and 4 sixes in 35 balls, while Shaun Tait, who conceded only 25 in 4 overs, applied the brakes for Australia, who were reduced to 62/4 in the chase, with three batsmen wasting starts and David Warner falling for a duck.

David Hussey and Cameron White staged a brief recovery, but both fell soon with White making 43. Mike Hussey then lost Steven Smith, and the score stood at 144/7 with 48 to win from 17 balls. 14 came off the eighteenth over while 16 were hit in the next. That left Mitchell Johnson on strike with 18 to get from 6.

Thankfully for Australia, a single came off the first ball; carnage began after that with 6, 6, 4 and 6 off Hussey's bat. Australia hunted down the target successfully and he finished on 60* off 24 balls.
