Cricket is a game of uncertainties, you must have heard it. But this was seen in Karachi. At the time when India’s team was writing its victory over Australia in Hyderabad, at the same time, thousands of kilometers away from there, a match was being played on Pakistani soil, which was perhaps the best example of the extent of thrill. The clutch of victory in this match was once in the hands of Pakistan. But, then, as soon as the match reached the last two overs, Pakistan’s win percentage reduced to 2-3 percent. That is, his defeat was certain. By this time everyone would have accepted the victory of England. But, where everyone’s thinking was answered, Pakistan did a game-changing job. In easy language, they say don’t win the losing battle, just did that. Babar Azam army of.
Pakistan reversed its defeat
It was not a difficult task to score 5 runs in the last 10 balls, that too when it was known that there were 3 wickets in hand. And, there was no pressure to rush. But, knowing all this, the England team lost the match that was won. Amazing see that Pakistan’s biggest weakness became its strength in pushing England to the face of defeat. In this, bowler Harris Rauf played a role, but in the end, the role of Shan Masood’s run out was the most important.
Harris Rauf took back to back wickets in the 19th over
Now just understand the thrill of the last 2 overs i.e. 19th and 20th over in a sequential manner. England needed 9 runs from 12 balls. Harris Rauf came to bowl the 19th over. After throwing the first ball, he gave a four on the second ball. That is, now England were left to score 5 runs in the next 10 balls and there were 3 wickets in hand. But this is where the twist came in this story of cricket. Harris Rauf dismissed Liam Dawson on the third ball and Stone back to back on the fourth ball. That is, now the target of scoring 5 runs in 8 balls remained in front of England, while the number of remaining wickets was reduced from 3 to 1. Topley took a single from leg bye off Rauf’s 5th ball. Whereas the last ball of the over was a dot.
Shaan Masood’s direct hit, Pakistan’s case fit
Meaning the game now reached the last over, where England had a target to score 4 runs and 1 wicket was left. The first ball of this over of Mohammad Wasim was dot. Strike Topley on the second tried to take a single, but in this affair, he was run out on a brilliant throw from Shan Masood and the match fell into Pakistan’s bag after being thrown out of England’s bag.
