India pacer Mohammed Shami was on a roll during the warm-up match against Australia in the T20 World Cup in Brisbane. Shami who was roped in place of Jasprit Bumrah showed his class with the ball as he rattled the Australian lower order to hand India a stunning win.

Australia needed 11 from the final over when Rohit Sharma called Shami to bowl. This was the first time that the pacer was handed the ball in the match but he stamped authority with some fine yorkers.

19.2 Shami attempted another yorker and this time he nailed it. Cummins somehow, got his bat on it and got two more in front of mid-on.

19.3 Shami once again bowled a low full toss and Cummins hammered it towards the long on boundary. But full marks to Virat Kohli who was stationed at the position, timed his jump to perfection and grabbed a one-handed screamer to send the batter back in the hut.

19.4 Shami was now up against Ashton Agar. The pacer bowled a back of the length ball, angling across the left-hander. Agar swung his bat but missed the ball. Josh Inglis who was at the non-striker’s end called for the run but Dinesh Karthik was quick enough to throw the ball back to Shami who did the rest at the bowling end. Agar was run out for o on the first ball.

19.5 With seven needed off two, Inglis had to go for the big hit but he completely missed this one. Shami bowled another perfect yorker, on the off stump channel as the batter swung his bat across but missed it completely and was cleaned up for 1 off 3.

19.6 Australia now needed 7 on the final ball. Shami bowled near perfect yorker to conclude the proceedings to Richardson. The batter backed away and threw his bat on it but missed it and was cleaned up. Shami had his third wicket in the over. He returned with figures of 3/4 in one over.
