This was one of those rare occasions in which Warner did not open the innings for Australia but batted at number 4 and played one of his best T20I innings till date. Chasing a mammoth 205 for victory, Australia soon found themselves 32-3 in the 6th over and the onus was on Warner to take them home. Considering the task at hand, Warner did what he does best and went after the South African bowlers from the outset. He slammed 6 fours and 5 sixes to score 77 in 40 deliveries and pulled Australia out of the hole.
With able support from Maxwell, he helped his team win the game that had looked beyond them at one point. This innings further illustrated the point that Warner is no longer just a top order power hitter but a superb batsman, someone who is aware of the match situation and can alter his approach accordingly. Additionally, he showed immense adaptability by batting at number 4 without losing any of effectiveness.
