AUS VS RSA - 13th Match, Super 12 Group 1, ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2021

Okay, if the pitch today was anything to go by, we are in for a number of these low-scoring thrillers. For now, you need to switch tabs and hop over to Dubai, where you could be asked to Remember the Name. So this was me, Vineet Anantharaman, signing off on behalf of Pradeep Krishnamurthy, Nikhil Jadhav, Abhinand Raghavendran and our scorer Mukesh Gowda. Until Kolkata-2016 2.0, ta ta!!

Aaron Finch | Winning skipper: The dugout was relaxed than I was. Quite stressful, and I was nervous. Stoinis and Wade showed a cool head to get us over the line, and that is what a bit of experience can do. Maxwell did a really good job with the ball. We knew he had good matchups in the powerplay. Our whole bowling unit was outstanding. Ideally I would have loved to push Hazlewood for a third over in the powerplay. He is a world class bowler. He has accuracy and on a wicket providing variation, it can be tough. We understand that at different points guys need to rest and it gives others opportunities. We have some world class players back in our side now and experienced players count in a World Cup. SA are as good a fielding team as anyone in the world. They are quick, bowl with discipline. We needed a bit of luck to go our way and it did.

Temba Bavuma | Losing skipper: We always talk about us being resilient and there was opportunity. Big effort from the guys to get us to the last over. We just didn't get enough with the bat and it was always going to be tough for the bowlers, and it was a good effort from them to get it to this stage. Australia bowled well. They assessed the length well and hit that back of a length. Their spinners too bowled tight. Aiden held the innings and got us to a decent total. As much as it was a day that didn't go to plan, we can take positives. We showed fight. We spoke during the half time that we won't give up.

Josh Hazlewood, Player of the Match: I think length was the key, anything full was easy to score. Hence, the length was crucial on this wicket. He (de Kock) is pretty good with that (ramp) shot, but unfortunately that short ball hit his glove and it popped up onto the stumps, was good to see the back of Quinny (de Kock). The wicket here is a bit slower in the day time, and the ball skids on nicely at night. The bowlers did a great job, Maxwell bowled well. It got closer towards the end, but we had the confidence in those guys (Wade and Stoinis), we knew they would get us over the finishing line.

17:32 Local Time, 13:32 GMT, 19:02 IST: Clearly a 119-run chase shouldn't have taken this long, but South Africa have given it every ounce of their energy to pull it deep. So much so that at one stage, it even looked like they were favourites. But again, that's what you get with such small targets, where one bad over and a couple of good shots is all you need to hand it back over to the batsmen. And today, it was Stoinis and Wade who snatched it back for the Aussies after the spin drama in the middle overs. Rabada and Nortje started off really well in the powerplay, with accurate pacy stuff to keep the batsmen in check and get rid of both openers cheaply. Markram then pulled off a monster of a catch in the deep, Shamsi outfoxed Maxwell, but they just didn't have the runs to play around with despite the RRR climbing up. Despite some pretty smart dots squeezed in, the boundaries kept coming, and that 118-run effort with the bat was always going to come back to haunt. And haunt it did. Stick around, here come the presentations ..

Pretorius to Stoinis, FOUR .. yep, job done. A nice friendly high full toss, and Stoinis can swipe it away over mid-wicket. He lets out a roar, and Australia breathe

Pretorius to Stoinis, no run, full, cross-seamed, on off, driven straight to mid-off

2 runs | 4 balls. Okay, the field is up.

Pretorius to Stoinis, FOUR, slammed downtown, and sealed alright. It's full, in the slot and Stoinis' thumped this straight back, nearly cleaning up the umpire too on its way

6 runs | 5 balls. Massive gaps in the leg-side outfield, fyi.

Pretorius to Stoinis, 2 runs, dipping low full toss, with Stoinis shuffling, crouching and swiping this softly enough into mid-wicket, and then running just as hard to make it through for the second

Parth Jain: Who would have thought even a match with 119 as the target will be this intense?

8 runs | 6 balls. Surely there's a twist left in the bank ..

Nortje to Stoinis, 1 run, 145kph, full, outside off, shuffling toe-ended slice, long-off

Nortje to Stoinis, FOUR, slower back of a length sitter. 114kph. No, no. Nortje's let them off the hook again. Stoinis has all the time in the world to read it, adjust and then pump it over mid-wicket

Nortje to Wade, 1 run, another slice, and another one straight to deep point. Another one where Wade goes low, too hard, shapeless, timing-less

Nortje to Stoinis, 1 run, 141kph, low full toss, wide, sliced, straight to sweeper. 14 runs | 9 balls

Nortje to Stoinis, 2 runs, dropped. 144kph, and drilled back even harder. Nortje pokes his hand out, gets a palm, but just doesn't get it to stick. Okay, in a normal world, he's saved a couple

Nortje to Wade, 1 run, 142kph, absolute free trashy delivery -- full toss, outside off. But Wade cannot take advantage, swinging hard, losing shape, and miscuing it off the outside-half to deep backward point

Anrich Nortje [3.0-0-11-2] is back into the attack

18 runs | 12 balls. They could play Nortje out here and take it deep. Remember, these two are the last proper batsmen.
