AUS vs AFG Highlights T20 World Cup: Australia beat Afghanistan by 4 runs in Adelaide

17.1 Maxwell pulls over mid-wicket and will get six runs! But that was an excellent effort by Rashid Khan! He dived hard and caught the ball, released it backwards before falling over the boundary line, but the ball hits his shoe and falls in the boundary, thereby giving the Big Show six runs.

Harsha Bhogle on air, about Maxwell and Wade’s love for reverse-sweeps and switch-hits: Matthew Wade is left-handed, who loves to be right-handed. Glenn Maxwell is right-handed, who has a deep inner wish to be left-handed.

15.5 Excellent from Matthew Wade! Wide outside off stump, but Wade has pre-meditated a reverse sweep and executes it well. Gets it over the backward point fielder and the ball has no more hurdles in the outfield.

15.3 Marcus Stoinis is Out. Trying to go after Rashid Khan, and pays the price. He had already got a six on the first ball. Now tries to slice it over the backward point, but hits it straight to the fielder. Marcus Stoinis c Usman Ghani b Rashid Khan 25 (21)

13.1 Rashid Khan with a loud shout for LBW, but the umpire has ruled in the favour of batter. That looks close, pitched on good length and hit on the pads of Stoinis. No bat involved, pitching outside off stump, but the impact was outside the off stump. Stoinis will play.

12.1 Glenn Maxwell has played that fine, very fine. The ball was quicker and drifting on the pads, Maxi paddles it past the short square leg for four runs.
