Imam-ul-Haq Slammed A Towering Six Against Zaman Khan
During his stay in the middle, Imam slammed a brilliant six against Zaman Khan that has grabbed the attention of the spectators. It was a short delivery by the bowler at the off and middle stump line. Imam-ul-Haq spotted the length very early and put his weight on the back foot to pull the ball over the square leg fence for a maximum. It was a towering six by the batter.
Speaking of Zaman Khan, he has a slingy bowling action. The Sri Lankan legend, Lasith Malinga, was known for such kind of action. Due to low release point of the delivery, Zaman Khan is often referred to as the Malinga of Pakistan. It is often difficult for the batters to pick up the line, length and variation of the ball with such kind of an action. However, Imam-ul-Haq executed the short brilliantly and grabbed the attention of the viewers.
