Australia wins Hong Kong sixes
Australia won their first ever Hong Kong Sixes when they beat Pakistan in the final of the tournament on Sunday.

Batting first, Pakistan scored 132/6 in the final of the tournament in their six overs. Ahmed Shezad was the star of the batting side with a 28-ball 92. In reply, Australia needed 48 to win the game off the last over of eight balls, which was blasted off by
Dave Warner and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ryan-Carters-c2386.

A visibly elated Warner said: "It was amazing. We have that Australian passion when things are against us. It is one of those things - we needed 46 in that last over, but it is cricket and we knew we were always a chance if we backed ourselves. I was given
the opportunity to come here and lead the side as well and I am just stoked for the boys, they have done so well."

Glenn Maxwell was declared the man of the tournament.

The tournament, which was played over the weekend in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 start with a loss to South Africa before turning things around by winning four in a row to win it. Australia followed up that loss to the Proteas with a win over hosts Hong Kong and
then against England. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, who were in the same group as Australia, won all three first-round games to qualify for the semi-finals along with the Aussies.

Pakistan took on South Africa in the semi-final and hammered them by 50 runs to get to the final. Australia, on the other hand, were involved in a tough game against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, which they won off the last ball of the game.
