In the ongoing Abu Dhabi T10 League 2023, Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir defied the conventional norms of T10 cricket, a format known for its explosive nature and high-scoring matches.
Despite the format’s tendency to favour batters and limit the room for bowlers to showcase their skills, Amir, with his exceptional swing and lethal pace, orchestrated a spellbinding performance in a recent clash between Chennai Braves and New York Strikers.
Mohammad Amir’s deadly bowling performance
Entering the bowling attack in the second over of the first innings, Strikers’ pacer Amir made an immediate impact in the encounter. His first delivery led to the dismissal of Kobe Herft, who was run out by a swift and accurate throw from the pacer at the bowling end. The following ball saw George Munsey falling victim to the Amir’s prowess, getting caught behind by wicket-keeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz after scoring only six runs.
Continuing his fiery spell, the left-arm seamer then claimed the wicket of Bhanuka Rajapaksa, who was caught behind off the fourth delivery without contributing any runs to the scoreboard. The climax of the 31-year-old’s exceptional over unfolded with Charith Asalanka departing for a duck on the last ball. Amir’s relentless performance culminated in a wicket maiden, leaving the Braves in a precarious position with four wickets down and a mere six runs on the board. The left-armer finished with astonishing figures of 2-1-7-4.
