Shane Watson, the skipper of Australia is in for a chat. He starts by saying it was a great game of cricket, as it went down to the wire. Mentions the wicket was really good, a little bit of dew in play as well. Adds that he enjoys whenever he is out at the crease and hopes to relieve some of the best moments of his career. Adds they need to make a little adjustments going into the next match but now they will enjoy their break.

Mohammad Sharif, the captain of Bangladesh Legends says that it was a great game and their batters batted well and they could have done better with the bat at the top of the order. However, he is proud to be part of this game. Tells that they could not bowl well in the end and the match was in their hands but adds that it could not happen. Says that they would try to be better in the next game.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

This game was about two people, Elias Sunny, who took Bangladesh to a competitive score after they were struggling at one point. He was the one who got them on top of the game with the ball with a four-fer. However, a special knock from Haddin turned the game in the favor of the Aussies.

Chasing down a mediocre score, despite losing a wicket early, Australia were off to a flier in the Powerplay. However, after that, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. They slipped to 109 for 5 as Sunny was brilliant with the ball. His four-fer took his side on top. There though was a special knock loading from Haddin who stayed there till the end and helped his side get over the line in the very last over.

What a knock that was from Haddin! Absolutely brilliant! Take a bow! Have to say, he has single-handedly taken his side over the line. Australia seemed down and out at 109 for 6 but Haddin, has played a special knock, a half ton to remember to take his side over the line. Bangladesh will be heart-broken. They really gave Australia a run for their money but this could well be a morale deflating loss for them.

FOUR! Brad Haddin has done it, he has won it for Australia Legends! Wow, Brad Haddin you beauty! Hasan bowls it full and on middle. Haddin slogs it towards the deep mid-wicket region. It travels quickly and goes past the diving deep mid-wicket fielder to reache the fence. Aussies rejoice as they win this game by 3 wickets!

FOUR! Oh, he hits another boundary and now Australia Legends need a boundary off the last ball to pull off a heist here! This is full on middle. Haddin heaves it and gets good connection and placement to get a boundary here towards the deep mid-wicket region.

FOUR! Haddin finds the boundary again and it brings up his fifty! Brilliant knock, this game is still alive. 8 needed from 2 balls! Back of a hand slower delivery on off. Haddin pulls it hard towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary.

Turns down the single! A full toss but it is quite low, on off. Haddin tries to heave it towards the leg side. However, he only manages to get an inside edge to short fine leg.

NO BALL! Oh, this is disaster for Bangladesh Legends! Hasan has overstepped here. He bowls it full and on off. Haddin drills it right of long off for a couple. Free Hit coming up.

SIX! This time he connects and this game is still on folks! A perfect length for Haddin to get under it, on off. He tonks it over long on for a maximum. 15 needed from 4 balls!

No run taken and surely this is Bangladesh Legends game from hereon now. Almost nails a yorker on middle. Haddin tries to slog it towards the leg side. However, he only gets an inside edge to short fine leg.

Dot to end the over and 21 needed now from the last over! This is a fullish delivery, around off. Lee swings his blade hard but ends up missing it completely.

Single again, a brilliant over this! Sharif with a very full delivery on off. Haddin only manages to slog it to long on for a single.
