Pakistan is known for producing some of the best fast bowlers in world cricket, and they again showed a glimpse of this in the U19 World Cup game against Scotland.
A speedster naming Mohammad Wasim exhibited tremendous skills of pace bowling. The right-armer completely dominated by dismantling the Scotland batting lineup.
In his 7.5 overs, Wasim scalped five wickets for just 12 runs. His skillful bowling was supported by left-arm bowler Tahir Hussain who took three wickets.
The bestride performance by Pakistan’s bowlers resulted in bundling up the Scottish team on just 75 runs.
A stunning performance with the ball from Pakistan!
