T20 World Cup 2010

On this day in 2010, Michael Hussey played one hell of a knock to defeat Pakistan in the semi finals of T20 World Cup.

Chasing 191, Australia were 7/174 at one stage and required 18 runs to win off the last over bowled by in-form Saeed Ajmal. Michael Hussey goes 6646 and finishes off the game in style. 53 runs were scored off last 3 overs in that innings after being 7 down.

He scored 60 runs off 24 balls including 3 fours and 6 sixes. He was also declared as “Player of the Match” for his match winning knock.

Nine years later in an interview, Saeed Ajmal revealed that he was still heartbroken and it had been very hard for him to get over it.
