We will catch you soon in what will be another busy week of non-stop cricketing action. Goodnight and CHEERS!
Brad Haddin (Player of the Match): "I am exhausted actually, we were in trouble but were lucky to get home in the end. That was my first catch in 12 months, also John Hastings worked me up in the field. We are fortunate to meet all these guys back, meet them and share the dressing room with them, which we missed a lot. It's good to have the crowd, especially in the end as a couple of 45-year old's playing cricket we loved it."
Most Valuable Player of the Match: Elias Sunny
Best Allrounder of the Match: Elias Sunny

Best Bowler of the Match: Elias Sunny
Game Changer of the Match: Elias Sunny
Shane Watson Australia Legends Skipper: "Great game of cricket. The crowds were great and Brad Haddin was great as he put his hand up. The conditions were good with a bit of dew, but it was scrappy and Haddin saved us today. I think we are enjoying ourselves and happy to be here. Happy with the win. The boys played well. There are areas to work on, but I think there are experienced campaigners out there who know where to improve and how to get better. Honestly, it's a pleasure to be out here playing in front of this crowd."
Mohammad Sharif (Losing Captain): "It was a really good game of cricket, our batters struggled a bit, especially the top order, but we had a good total, if we improve on some aspects of our batting we will be much batter side, we witnessed a great game of cricket. Elias Sunny played really well, he scored some runs and got us in the game with the ball, we didn't bowl well in the death overs and we will comeback strong in the future games."
Time for the post match presentations.
What a terrific game we have had here in Indore and at the end of the day, it was Brad Haddin who seals the win for Australia Legends with three consecutive boundaries of the last three balls to give them their first win this season. You got to feel sorry for Bangladesh, as they should have won this game.
Chasing 159 for the win, Australia got off to a rollicking start with Shane Watson and Callum Ferguson dominating the proceedings inside the powerplay. Cameron White went early, but Watson's 35 and Ferguson's 24 made sure the Aussies get a stable base and looked to be cruising home. But there was a twist post the powerplay as the middle order was blown away. It was keeper batter Brad Haddin who stood like a brick wall and remained unbeaten on 58 off 37 balls including the last three balls going for boundaries that got Australia a last-ball win here. Bangladesh gave away 18 extras out of which there were 13 wides and 3 no-balls and one of them in the final over proved costly.
Elias Sunny was the pick of the Bangladesh bowlers having a dream spell of 4 overs 4-8. Abdur Razzak kept it tight with his 4 overs 2-26. A wicket for Abul Hasan who went the distance. Alok Kapali kept things tight in his 4 overs for 16 runs. The others were taken to the cleaners.

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.

Brad Haddin, you beauty! Australia wins this game by the barest of margins as Haddin takes them home. What a game we have had here in Indore.
19.6 A Hasan to B Haddin
4 FOUR!! HADDIN DOES IT AND AUDTRALIA TAKE VICTORY FROM JAWS OF DEFEAT!! A great delivery at the yorker length and angling into the middle and leg stump, Haddin stays deep in the crease and Steers it with perfection towards the deep square leg boundary, the deep backward square fielder was yards inside the boundary ropes, his chase and diving effort goes in in vain as the ball beats him and hits the ropes to give the men in yellow the victory by 3 wickets.
Brad Haddin is keeping this game alive with another boundary. 4 needed off 1 ball.
19.5 A Hasan to B Haddin
4 FOUR!! HADDIN FINDS THE GAP YET AGAIN!! Pressure now shifts back on the bowler, full and wider of off, Haddin showing all his experience and powerfully drags it towards cow corner region, this time the deep midwicket fielder can't give a chase as the ball, smokes down to the fence. Last ball and 4 to win then...
Fifty for Brad Haddin. Excellent innings but he won't think of those. His mission is to get Australia over the line. 8 off 2 balls now.
19.4 A Hasan to B Haddin
4 FOUR!! BANG!! FIFTY UP FOR HADDIN!! Haddin gets a boundary at the right moment, back of a hand slower delivery wider of off, drags it powerfully towards the cow corner region, beats the long on and deep modwicekt fielders and the ball races to the fence.
