Amit Mishra Spins India To Victories In T20 World Cup

 

Amit Mishra is probably in the form of his life as he is spinning his way to help India win matches at the ICC T20 World Cup in Bangladesh. Amit Mishra has played just three T20 international matches and he has won two man of the match awards out of them.

It was due to his bowling efforts, primarily, that played India win matches. Yes, it was the effort of the batsmen to chase the score down. But, it was Mishra’s efforts that allowed batsmen to chase smaller totals. In both the matches that India played in this World Cup so far, India batted second and chased targets successfully.

Amit Mishra has been the most successful bowler for India in both matches. In the match against West Indies, Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets, one more than Mishra, but he proved to be far too costly giving away 48 runs in his four overs.

Let us have a look at his figures in both matches.

The first match was played against Pakistan. In this match, Mishra bowled all his four overs and bowled the only maiden over of the match. He got the first wicket when he bowled the ninth over of the match by sending back Ahmed Shehzad. It was again Mishra whom Dhoni had to turn to, to get the next wicket in the form of Shoaib Malik.

Mishra’s figures were 4 overs, one maiden, 22 runs and two wickets and helped India beat Pakistan.

As far as the second match against West Indies was concerned, Mishra again took two wickets. These two wickets came in the same over, what’s more, on two successive deliveries. Yes, Mishra was on a hat-trick against West Indies as he dismissed Marlon Samuels and Dwayne Bravo off two consecutive balls.

In fact, in this match Mishra bowled more economically and gave away only 18 runs. This proved to be the turning point of the match as it became difficult for the West Indies batsmen to score off other bowlers as they needed to take risk and get big shots going. India won the match easily.

Mishra’s figures in this match were 4 overs, zero maiden, 18 runs and two wickets.

For India, it is very important for Amit Mishra to continue in this form as an important match against Australia is round the corner.
