1.1  Mitchell Starc to Usman Khawaja, He's hit that high and hard...the fielder is coming underneath it...will he catch it? NOOOO! He spills the chance! And to add insult to injury, the ball rolls away for four runs. The bowler is fuming!  (4)

My trust in Stoinis was worth it after all. Pietersen was really fantastic, as was Maxwell, who in my opinion has been our best player.
 
Our batsman did a great job. Finally our bowlers, especially Adil Rashid showed their real class.
