The undoubted Man of the Match for today is Darren Sammy for a truly astonishing innings. That's it from this game. The India vs Bangladesh game is up next.
Chris Gayle had set this up very nicely but in the middle overs, the Australian bowlers continued to choke the run-flow and chipped away with crucial wickets. They controlled the majority of the match but then when it mattered, Darren Sammy smashed 19 off the Starc and that gave him the license to bury Faulkner deep deep, down under.
This has to be one the most extra-ordinary climaxes in the history of World Twenty20. Phew, Darren Sammy, whaddaaplaaya! Australia must have thought that this game was in their hands when 42 were required off 18 balls. Then entered the stage, the captain himself, Darren Sammy and he scored a breath-taking 34 off a staggering 13 balls!

A full length ball, Sammy absolutely nails it straight down the ground and disappears away in celebration! Gayle is out on the ground and all of them gather to have a go at Faulkner! There's a Korean pop dance going around at the moment and you don't need to guess who's orchestrating it, Christopher Henry Gayle!

OUT! Hell, he takes yet another blinder of a catch! A slow, full ball outside off, Samuels tries to loft it over covers but finds an outside edge. Haddin absolutely flies to his right and takes a stunner. Apart from winning matches for Australia by slogging through mid-wicket, he's made a habit of taking right-handed blinders too off-lately.
