T20 World Cup: Australia kickstart campaign with 5-wicket win over South Africa in low-scoring thriller
India Today
Australia rode on Steve Smith and bowlers' heroic to kickstart their T20 World Cup campaign with a 5-wicket win over South Africa in Abu Dhabi.
Marcus Stoinis kept his nerves and played some fine shots under pressure to guide Australia to a five-wicket win over South Africa in a low-scoring last-over thriller in their first match of the Super 12s stage of the T20 World Cup in Abu Dhabi on Friday.
Needing 18 from the last two overs to reach the target of 119, the star all-rounder picked 10 runs against Anrich Nortje and then hit a double, two boundaries of pacer Dwaine Pretorius to seal a 5-wicket win for Australia. Australia completed the chase with two balls to spare.
