3 / 10Mitchell Marsh also provided Australia with some lusty blows in his 45-run knock off 30 balls. (Image: AP)

5 / 10With wickets falling at the other end, Glenn Maxwell held one end and batted sensibly. With innovative shots, singles-doubles and some powerful hits, Maxi shone with a 32-ball 54* and took Australia to 168/8 after 20 overs. (Image: AP)

8 / 10Gulbadin Naib (39) and Ibrahim Zadran (26) then stitched a 59-run partnership to keep the Afghans in the hunt. But Afghanistan lost 4 for 4 in 9 balls as the complexion of the match changed. Three of those wickets came in one over of Adam Zampa (2/22). (Image: AP)
9 / 10But Rashid Khan was in no mood to give up! He played a sensational innings of 48* off 23 with some extravagant shots but fell agonizingly short of the total. (Image: AP)
10 / 10After Afghanistan needed 22 off the last over, Australia could only manage to win by 4 runs as the Afghans finished with 164/7 after 20 overs. The Aussies would know that they got out of jail with Rashid going berserk! With this win, Australia stay alive in the tournament. (Image: AP)
