Amir dismissed Waseem [Source: @ilt20onzee/X.Com]
Mohammad Amir, when on song is one of the best bowlers in T20 format, and he once again showed his class in the ILT20 clash Vs MI Emirates. Bowling inside the power-play, Amir tightened the screws and bowled a ripper to dismiss his fellow Pakistan player, Muhammad Waseem. The fast bowler delivered a peach and the opposition batter had no answer for it.
In the clash between Desert Vipers and MI Emirates, the Vipers won the toss and elected to bowl first as they wanted to utilise the early movement at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. Amir's first over was decent, but he struggled to get his lines right.
However, the champion pacer got it right in the next over and bowled a deadly delivery to knock Muhammad Waseem's stumps.
Amir bowled a fuller length ball on the middle and off as the delivery nipped back in sharply and castled the stumps. In the blink of an eye, Waseem's stumps were shattered as Amir was pumped up after taking the huge wicket. The delivery replicated how Wasim Akram, the former Pakistan pacer used to destroy batters with his swing and skill.
Amir leads Vipers to top of the table
Mohammad Amir has lead Vipers to the top of the table. It won't be an understatement to say that he has been their best player in the ongoing tournament.
Amir has scalped 10 wickets in the competition and has been the leader of the bowling attack as the Vipers have won 6 out of 7 matches and will further strengthen the position in the table if they win tonight as well.
