Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto asked to bowl young leg-spinner Rishad Hossain the 19th over of South Africa's innings on Monday when they met in New York in Match 21 of the T20 World Cup 2024. 

A well-set David Miller was on strike, making it a big gamble, as Miller tends to smash hard against spinners. However, the gamble paid off, as Hossain produced a magical delivery to knock Miller over.

It was a tossed-up delivery from Hossain, tempting Miller to go big. However, the top spin did the job, as Miller's ugly slog was nowhere near to the ball. It went on to rattle the stumps, and a big roar came from the 21-year-old as soon as he got the big fish.
