Commentary
Over 12.5: FOUR! Nicely done! Fractionally short but well wide outside off, Travis Head hangs back, creates room and cuts it late and wide of backward point for a boundary.
Travis Head - 4 runs (40 balls)
Over 11.6: Length ball outside off, sits up a bit, Travis Head backs away and firms it down to the right of Rashid Khan at long off and comes back for the second run. 100 up for Australia in just 12 overs!
Travis Head - 2 runs (39 balls)
Over 10.4: FIFTY up for Travis Head in just 34 balls and it is a 17th ODI half-century for him. Fractionally short, angling into middle and leg, whipped away off the back foot and wide of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs. Ominous signs these for Afghanistan as Head has a history of taking the game away from the opposition quickly.
Travis Head - 2 runs (34 balls)
Over 8.4: FOUR! THREE IN A ROW! Now, Omarzai goes for a short-of-a-length ball, around middle, Travis Head stays on the back foot and flicks it away to fine leg for another boundary.
Travis Head - 4 runs (28 balls)
Over 8.3: FOUR! EDGED AND BOUNDARY! On a good length, and well outside off, Travis Head stands tall and swings at it but gets a thick outside edge that flies to the right of the keeper for another boundary.
Travis Head - 4 runs (27 balls)
Over 8.2: FOUR! UP AND OVER! Omarzai rolls his fingers, on a length and outside off, Travis Head premediates to go for a big shot and he gets deceived by the lack of pace but he still goes for that lofted shot and gets it well over wide mid on for a boundary.
Travis Head - 4 runs (26 balls)
Over 6.4: A bit fuller and outside off, Head steers it to deep point for a single.
Travis Head - 1 runs (20 balls)
Over 5.6: FOUR! SMART BATTING! Farooqi bangs in short of a length to surprise the batter, around middle and angles it into the body, Travis Head waits for it and opens the face of the bat off late to ramp it over the keeper behind the wickets for a boundary.
Travis Head - 4 runs (18 balls)
Over 5.4: FOUR! WOW! HEAD IS PUTTING UP A SHOW HERE! A slower ball from Fazalhaq Farooqi and he goes fuller and wide outside off, Travis Head goes low and extends his arms to reach out to loft it inside out over cover for a boundary.
Travis Head - 4 runs (16 balls)
Over 5.1: FOUR! THRASHED! On a good length and touch outside off, Travis Head hops up a bit to get on top of the bounce and pulls it along the ground to deep square leg for a boundary.
Travis Head - 4 runs (13 balls)
Over 4.5: FOUR! AND ANOTHER! Omarzai goes fuller but on the pads, easy for Steve Smith as he leans on and flicks it in the gap towards mid-wicket for another boundary.
Steve Smith - 4 runs (2 balls)
Over 4.4: FOUR! WHAT A WAY TO GET OFF THE MARK! Back of a length, around off, Steve Smith hops up a bit and punches it away in the gap towards extra cover for a boundary.
Steve Smith - 4 runs (1 balls)
Over 4.3: OUT! CAUGHT! A GOOD CATCH AND THIS TIME, SHORT DEPARTS! Azmatullah Omarzai gets the deserved wicket finally as he bowls on a good length, around middle, coming in, Matthew Short leans on and looks to flick it but gets a top edge only. The ball goes towards mid on where the fielder, Gulbadin Naib runs in backwards and extends his arms to catch this over his right shoulder. Australia are 44/1.
Matthew Short - 0 runs (15 balls)
Over 3.6: FOUR! AUSTRALIA OFF TO A FLIER HERE! Farooqi bowls it fuller and on the pads again, easy for Travis Head as he lunges and flicks it away to deep backward square leg for a boundary. The fielder should have done better to his right there and Fazalhaq Farooqi seems deflated.
Travis Head - 4 runs (11 balls)
Over 3.2: SIX! Rubbing salt into the wounds! Farooqi goes fuller but on the pads, easy for Travis Head as he lunges and flicks it away with the angle for a biggie at deep fine leg. The fielder is just a mere spectator.
Travis Head - 6 runs (7 balls)
Over 2.6: FOUR! EASY PICKINGS! Sprays it on the pads, fuller in length, Matthew Short lunges and flicks it away to deep backward square leg for a boundary to end the over. 14 off it.
Matthew Short - 4 runs (13 balls)
Over 2.4: SIX! PUNISHED! Hard length, around off and middle, in the arc of Matthew Short as he presses back a bit and thumps it over mid-wicket for a biggie. TOP SHOT!
Matthew Short - 6 runs (11 balls)
Over 2.1: FOUR! EDGED AND BOUNDARY! Afghanistan will be disappointed with these streaky boundaries. On a good length, outside off, Matthew Short stands tall and looks to drag it to the leg side by pulling it but gets a top edge through the bottom part of the bat. The ball flies over the slip and goes for a boundary at deep third.
Matthew Short - 4 runs (8 balls)
