Mohammed Shami, the relentless Indian pacer, lived up to his reputation in the 29th World Cup 2023 match against England. Known for his knack for grabbing wickets consistently, Shami did not disappoint this time either. In a crucial encounter where India batted first and set a target of 230 runs, Shami's role became pivotal.

England was tasked with chasing down this total, and to stand a chance, India needed to strike early. At just 30 runs on the board, Jasprit Bumrah took the crucial wickets that set the tone for India's bowling performance.

The turning point of the match arrived in the 7.6th over when Shami claimed his first victim of the day, none other than England's star player, Ben Stokes. Stokes, who had been England's hope and a clutch player, found himself rattled and frustrated after facing a barrage of deliveries. On the sixth ball of Shami's over, Stokes was bowled out on a 10 balls duck. This partnership between Bumrah and Shami showcased incredible bowling skills.
