Earlier in the innings, Warner got a reprieve on 73 as he hit a low full toss in the 23^rd over of the innings straight to Roelof van der Merwe at short cover. While the Dutch cricketer claimed the catch, Warner was certain that he had grounded it and expressed the same through his gestures on the pitch. The on-field umpires referred the decision to the third umpire and the replays found that Van der Merwe had grounded the ball.

Hence, Warner was allowed to continue his innings and he made full use of the reprieve. The Australian opener got involved in a massive 132-run stand for the second wicket off 118 balls as they rescued their team after they lost their opener Mitchell Marsh (9 off 15) in the fourth over.

Steve Smith finds his form back

Smith also found his form after a string of low scores as he registered his first fifty of the tournament by playing the innings of 71 off 68 balls with the help of nine fours and six. Marnus Labuschagne also played a brilliant knock of 62 off 47 balls.
