The excitement around the ICC T20 World Cup is increasing every day. After Namibia’s triumph over Sri Lanka on Sunday, cricket lovers were in for another surprise in the India vs Australia warm-up match on Monday. Thanks to Mohammed Shami’s heroics in the final over, India won the encounter at the Gabba by 6 runs, bringing some cheer to their fans.

Shami, who is in Australia as a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah, proved that he is the man to watch out for. The pacer was tasked with defending 11 runs in the final over and he did it in style. Shami scalped three wickets in the last over, bringing Australia to their knees. He gave away only four runs in the over and bowled some perfect yorkers.

This was Shami’s first T20 game in months, but the pacer did not let any pressure get to him. In his first and only over in the contest, the first two deliveries went for 2 runs each. With Pat Cummins on the crease, it looked like Australia would get past the victory line. But the third ball changed everything. Pat Cummins tried to hit a six off the delivery, but Virat Kohli, who was standing at long-on, took the opportunity to grab a one-handed stunner.

After that, it was Shami’s over all the way. The pacer scalped the wickets of Josh Inglis and Kane Richardson in quick succession, while Ashton Agar was run-out by Shami and Dinesh Karthik. Australia were all out for 180, leading India to a close win. Mohammed Shami’s performance was also an answer to any questions being raised over his fitness.
