That was what I practiced in the nets as well yesterday.
We were confident of doing it today as well but Mitch finished it off for us tonight.
But this will not impact the outcome of the match.
Both Australia and New Zealand are aiming to clinch their first-ever Men's T20 World Cup trophy at the Dubai International Stadium.
Having made the decision to backpedal, Malan to keep on doing it and just when it seemed it might be a bit too much and too long, the ball dropped and he cupped his palms up to pouch the ball and came back safely with it.
Just three runs from it.
