シャミは441日後に国際クリケットでウィックを取り、ダケットを金のアヒルに送り返します

インドの決勝戦と2023年のワールドカップでのオーストラリアは、シャミが国際クリケットでウィックを獲得した最後の時でした。

The wait is over. Mohammed Shami has taken a wicket. The pacer has been out since November 19, 2023, and although he returned in Rajkot (on January 28), he remained wicketless in his 3-over spell. Considering it was his first match in 14 months, Shami did well. The control was fine; he swung and seamed the ball as well. He was good in the powerplay but couldn’t get a wicket.

Shami gets Duckett for a duck

But at last, he’s got a wicket. 441 days after getting the wicket of David Warner at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Shami has taken the scalp of another southpaw opener, Ben Duckett. With Phil Salt going on in full assault mode, Shami broke England’s opening stand at the Wankhede Stadium.

Salt had taken Shami for 17 runs in his first over, but on the second delivery of his second over, he managed to get his revenge. Duckett looked to hit the ball over the off-side but miscued it so badly that the ball didn’t even cross the 30-yard circle as Abhishek Sharma took one of the simplest of catches.
