The score after 19 overs was 5/191, the whole team was all out on this score
This match of the ICC T20 World Cup was played on 2 May 2010 in St. Lucia. In this match, Australia won the toss and decided to bat first. Shane Watson and David Hussey scored half-centuries. With the help of Watson's 81 runs in 49 balls (7 fours and four sixes) and Hussey's 53 runs in 29 balls (two fours and five sixes), the Australian team was moving towards a strong score. After 16 overs, the team's score was 162 runs for two wickets. It seemed that the Kangaroo team would easily cross the score of 200 runs, but in the 17th over, spinner Saeed Ajmal gave a double blow by dismissing Hussey and Watson. In his next i.e. 19th over of the innings, Ajmal also sent Cameron White back to the pavilion. After 19 overs, Australia's score was 191 runs for 5 wickets, but due to enough wickets remaining, the hopes of reaching 200 runs were alive.
