It might have taken an unbelievable catch from Martin Guptill, but another abject failure for David Warner will have alarm bells ringing in the Australian camp.
The start of the T20 World Cup is just around the corner, and after a disastrous IPL campaign which saw Warner end up being dropped from the Sunrisers Hyderabad's best 11, he made no progress in a warm-up game against New Zealand overnight for Australia.
While Australia's bowling attack may be of equal concern, with New Zealand piling on 7 for 158 from their 20 overs despite Kane Richardson picking up 3 for 24 from four overs and Adam Zampa 2 for 17 from his four, Aaron Finch's men have one enormous question to answer at the top of the order.
Warner may get another chance at the top of the order later in the week when Australia play another warm-up game against India on Wednesday evening (AEDT), however, they may also elect to trial what will happen when Australia kick-off their tournament proper on Sunday evening (AEDT) against South Africa.
And right now, that looks like it shouldn't be Warner.
No one can doubt the 34, almost 35-year-old's efforts. He is one of the best fielders the game has ever seen and brings unmatched experience and leadership, having made his T20 international debut in 2009 and since making 81 appearances in the international game's shortest format, as well as a further 227 appearances in franchise T20 cricket.
But that doesn't mean Australia can afford to go into the World Cup with a hopelessly out of form opening batsman.
Warner's IPL campaign saw him make just eight appearances, however, six of those came before the shut down. On return in the United Arab Emirates, he made a duck against the Delhi Capitals, two against the Punjab Kings and then was unceremoniously dumped from the team.
The four weeks without an innings in the middle appear to have done nothing to help Warner though, who is now under major pressure to retain his spot in the team.
That pressure comes in the form of gun wicket-keeper Josh Inglis.
The wicket-keeper batsman was buried at the bottom of the order last night, but made an easy eight not out from two balls, helping Australia fall over the line with just a ball to spare.
That followed cameos from Aaron Finch, Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith and Marcus Stoinis, who all scored north of 20.
Inglis being promoted to the top of the order seems a somewhat logical step if the Aussies do elect to replace Warner. He is coming off an incredible 12 months at domestic level both in Australia and England.
The form of Inglis has been something to behold, and even if the Aussies don't elect to open things up with him, they could easily promote Marcus Stoinis to open, with the all-rounder set to return to bowling against India in the Aussies' second warm-up match.
Glenn Maxwell also didn't bat against New Zealand overnight, and with Pat Cummins and Ashton Agar in the side, the Aussies will have a deep batting line-up regardless of whether Warner plays or not.
The fact of the matter is that Australia have never taken the shortest form of the game seriously enough, and when they decided to do so, they were miles behind the other top teams.
Despite being one of the best long-term Test teams in the world, and having won more ODI World Cups than anyone else, Australia have only ever made one T20 World Cup final.
That record is abysmal, and must be rectified.
Taking an out of form opening batsman into the tournament based on reputation alone would just follow the trend of Australia's past selections in this format of the game.
Warner will be great to be around the camp - even not playing, you can bet he will give 110 per cent to the team and its endeavours.
But being in the middle? It's time for Australia to take a risk.
Josh Inglis is the man.
