USMAN Khawaja has injected life into Australia's World Twenty20 campaign with a matchwinning knock against Bangladesh yesterday, which showed his fellow batsmen -exactly how it's done. 
Bumping Aaron Finch out of the line-up was always going to put enormous pressure on Khawaja to perform, but the elegant left-hander has handled it with trademark ease and more than justified the selectors' faith in his ability.
Impressive leg-spinner Adam Zampa (3-23) set up the three-wicket win with the best haul of his young career, before Khawaja stamped his authority with a typically classy 58 runs off 44 balls.
"Some of the plans I had set when I bowled to (Khawaja) in the Big Bash, they didn't really work," conceded man-of-the-match Zampa.
"So when he's facing spin in particular out there at the moment I'm pretty confident." It's lucky Khawaja did fire, because despite some encouraging cameos, Australia's batsmen still managed to make tough work of getting the job done - losing three quick wickets when they were in sight of the finish line to temper what could have been an important lift for their net run-rate.
Of course, Australia were always firm favourites to roll Bangladesh on a flat Bangalore pitch and they still face a tough road to make the semi-finals - potentially needing to beat Pakistan and India to qualify.
However, chasing down a slightly tricky 157-run target should serve as a much-needed confidence booster for a team that choked against New Zealand in their opening match.
"We were disappointed (after New Zealand) but we spoke about it straight away that the equation for us is pretty simple now. Win every game," said Zampa.
"It was always going to be tough knowing you had to win three games anyway."(Pakistan and India) are going to be equally as hard. I think both have got great spin bowlers, great players of spin, so it's going to be interesting to see what the Mohali pitch is like but we're going to concentrate on Pakistan now."
