Match 6
Group Stage match 6: Australia seal easy win over Pakistan
May 2, 2010
Shane Watson hit a magnificient 81 from 49 as Australia scattered the Pakistan bowlers for 191 in their 20 overs before the seamers sealed a 34 run victory. Hussey (53 from 29) gave ample support, and Australia seemed to be on their way to the first 200+ innings of the 2010 championship as they were 191/5 by the end of the 19th over. But then, an unbelievable final over from Aamer - a five-wicket maiden, with two runouts - ended the Australian innings 9 runs short.
Australia's bowlers had a field day, with opening bowlers Shaun Tait (3-20) and Dirk Nannes (3-41) making sure wickets fell regularly. For Pakistan, Misbah-ul-Haq hit a lively 41 and Shahid Afridi scored 33 off 24 balls.
World Twenty20 Match 6: Australia 191 (Watson 81, Hussey 53, Aamer 3-23) beat Pakistan 157 (Misbah 41, Tait 3-20, Nannes 3-41) by 34 runs
