Tabraiz Shamsi - The turnaround

South Africa defeated England in the third and final T20 International to clinch the series by a 2-1 margin. At Rose Bowl, Southampton, the visitors defeated England convincingly by 90 runs as they shattered England’s hope in front of a jampacked arena. 

The hero of the match for the Proteas was their left-arm chinaman bowler Shamsi. His figures of 5 for 24 from his 4 overs might well suggest that he had a smooth sail in the series, but that is not the case. 

In the first match of the series, the English batters got the better of Shamsi thrashing him for 49 runs in just 3 overs. But the spin wizard made a comeback in the second match with 3 for 27 from his 4 overs, and by the final match, he was a completely different bowler.
