We have not won the tournament yet but our team was so pumped up for this game. To come on and play as we did was a very good effort. Australia played well. but a couple of our bowlers bowled economically and we backed ourselves to chase down 180-odd." [via BBC Sport]

1:05: Australia now must win their remaining two games and be dealt a serious slice of luck to escape their group.
