Match Details
Earlier in the game, Bangladesh Legends put into bat first, but never really got going as they lost their early three wickets very cheaply. They benefitted from the number of extras bowled by the Australians. The extras were the top scorer for Bangladesh as they contributed 39 runs. 33 of them were wides with 25 out of them bowled by John Hastings who was pathetic, to say the least. Alok Kapali got 20, Sadat got 20. Ellias Sunny top-scored with a mature 32 off 29 balls. Mohammad Sharif (14 off 10) and Dolar Mahmud (17 off 9) propelled the score to 158-9 in their allocated 20 overs.
The
Australian bowling was good apart from the extras they have given away. All the
bowlers apart from Brad Hodge who was used today got a wicket each. John
Hastings was disappointing as he gave away as many as 25 wides of the 33 extras
that were bowled today. A wicket apiece
for Brett Lee, Dirk Nannes, John Hastings, skipper Shane Watson, McGain, George
Horlin, and Nathan Reardon.
So, a win for Australia Legends over Bangladesh Legends by 3 wickets off the final ball of the game to get their first win of the tournament. Stick around for the presentation ceremony that comes your way soon.
