T20 World Cup: Australian dugout was more relaxed than I was, says Finch after nail-biting win vs South Africa

ICC T20 World Cup 2021: Australian captain Aaron Finch hailed his team's performance after their 5-wicket win over South Africa in the first match of the Super 12s in Group 1.

Australian captain Aaron Finch was a relieved man after his side managed to pull off a 5-wicket win over South Africa in the opening game of the Super 12s as the main draw of the ICC T20 World Cup got underway in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

The Aussies almost made a mess of their run chase of 119 but managed to scrape past the finish line with 2 balls to spare in the final over thanks to a brilliant cameo from Marcus Stoinis, after Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell laid a good platform with their fourth-wicket partnership.
