Following the conclusion of the Twenty20 World Cup, in which there were many outstanding individual displays, a look is taken back at the top some moments that determined a game. One can witness these amazing individual performances via today cricket match highlights.
- Curtis Campher 72* and 2/9 vs Scotland
Things weren’t looking good for Ireland in the First Round when Curtis Campher scored a fantastic 72 off 32 balls as part of a 119-run partnership with George Dockrell that took less than 10 overs to complete. Before Campher’s innings, things didn’t seem bright for Ireland. In order to win, they needed to score 177 runs. On the other hand, Campher did just that.
Because Campher made such good contact with the ball, Ireland was able to score more than 10 runs in each of the overs that followed the 12th. This was a significant contributor to Ireland’s success, which ultimately led to the country’s triumph in the competition. Even though wickets and the needed run rate placed a lot of pressure on Campher, she still managed to do very well in the tournament, which was one of the things that stood out as one of the most astounding aspects of it.
● Virat Kohli 82* vs Pakistan
Even though Virat Kohli had already struck a century in the Asia Cup before to the competition, there were still some concerns over his form. However, with a brilliant innings performance against Pakistan, he put such concerns to rest. The highlight of the run chase was when Haris Rauf hit two magnificent sixes in the over immediately before the final one. The game was won by Pakistan by a single run.
India’s innings was on the edge of breaking apart as they were struggling at 31/4 while attempting to score 160 runs. Nevertheless, a courageous stand by Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya brought the innings back from the brink of collapse. Before Kohli smashed two sixes off of Rauf, it was very difficult that India would be able to catch up to the mark since the needed run rate was so high. However, after Kohli’s hitting those two sixes, it became much more possible that India would be successful.
● Lungi Ngidi 4/29 vs India
The South African seamer had one of the best spells of the whole tournament in his game against India. He was able to get India’s top three batters out with his bowling, and he also got Hardik Pandya out.
In his first two overs, Ngidi slowed down India’s score to 41/3. KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli were all out during that time. After the Powerplay was over, he went back and also got rid of Pandya. This made it much harder for India to win.
● Sikandar Raza 3/25 vs Pakistan
One of the most shocking things that happened was because Sikandar Raza cast a spell that changed the way the game went. Pakistan needed 131 runs to win, but they were already down to 88/3 when Raza hit twice to change the course of the game.
After quickly getting rid of Shadab Khan and Haider Ali, he lowered Pakistan’s score to 88/5. Shan Masood had been holding things together until then, but in the next over, Raza also sent him back. This ended Pakistan’s hopes and dreams for the match.
Also, on the last ball, when Pakistan needed three runs to win (and two to tie), he showed great game sense by throwing the ball from the right end to get the important run out that let Zimbabwe move forward by one run. This made it possible for Zimbabwe to win the game.
● Marcus Stoinis 59* vs Sri Lanka
Marcus Stoinis completely beat Sri Lanka in the Super 12 match in Perth. He didn’t get out and scored 59 runs off of only 18 balls, which made him the winner. He got to fifty in only 17 balls, which is tied for the second-fastest in the men’s T20 World Cup. This was made possible by some daring strokes, hitting three boundaries off Wanindu Hasaranga, who had taken the most wickets in the tournament.
● Glenn Phillips 104 vs Sri Lanka
During this SCG game, the second hundred of the tournament was scored, and Phillips was responsible for an amazing 62% of his team’s runs.
● Shadab Khan 52 and 2/16 vs South Africa
After he came in, it looked like Pakistan wouldn’t be able to reach their goal of 185, but he smashed the Protea’s quicks and scored 52 runs in 22 balls. Shadab was the one who took two wickets with the ball during Pakistan’s resounding win.
● Brandon Glover 3/9 vs South Africa
The Super 12 final between the Netherlands and South Africa could be one of the most important matches in the history of the tournament. On the second-to-last day of the Super 12, it looked like the Proteas were going to get into the semi-finals and knock Pakistan out of the competition. However, the Netherlands played a great game and sent the Proteas home.
● Alex Hales 86* vs India
After 47 balls, he had struck seven fours, two sixes, and 86 runs to his credit. It took him only 28 balls in the eighth over to get to fifty, which established the pace for the rest of the run chase.
Sam Curran was the player who was responsible for three wickets during the championship game that was played between England and Pakistan.
Even though the all-rounder for England had a great competition overall and got a personal best score of 5/10, the performance that was most important was his performance in the championship game against Pakistan.
● Sam Curran 3/12 vs Pakistan in the final
By sending Mohammad Rizwan back, Curran broke the partnership between the Pakistan openers. Shan Masood, who was Pakistan’s top scorer, and Mohammad Nawaz were both taken out of the game by him, giving him a total of three wickets and twelve runs allowed.
