Hussey blitz sends Australia into ICC T20 final

Michael Hussey has just this minute sent Australia into the ICC Twenty20 World Cup final with an astonishing 60 in just 24 balls.

Michael HusseyHussey hit six sixes and three fours as he helped his side chase down the impressive 191 set by Pakistan. Australia looked in dire trouble at 62 for 4 until Cameron White hit a good 43 – with five sixes of his own – before being caught by Hafeez off the bowling of Aamer. It could all have been over there but Hussey was having none of it. In at number seven, he came out swinging, determined to get Australia over the finish line.

He duly did that, the winning runs coming off another massive six to give Australia a three wicket win.

Described on Sky Sports as the greatest Twenty20 match ever, it sets up an England v Australia final on Sunday in Barbados. While Paul Collingwood’s men would have been feeling rightly confident following a 100% winning streak from the Super Eight stage, they must now be feeling doubt set in after Australia’s display tonight.

Nevertheless, England have been good themselves and the final should make for a cracking game of T20 cricket. We’ll be watching it – hope you can join us!
