Pakistan’s left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir delivered an outstanding bowling performance in the Abu Dhabi T10 League, helping the New York Strikers secure a dominant 10-wicket win. Amir, who has been out of Pakistan’s national team since his participation in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, impressed by taking three wickets, including the crucial dismissal of England’s Phil Salt, while conceding just seven runs in his two-over spell.
His efforts placed him joint-second among the tournament’s leading wicket-takers, with an economy rate of 7.62 runs per over. The win was sealed by Sri Lankan batsman Kusal Perera’s rapid half-century, which allowed the Strikers to chase their target without losing a wicket. Amir’s match-winning performance earned him the Player of the Match award.
After the game, Amir emphasized the importance of the win, noting that it was a crucial match and expressing the need for the team to maintain their momentum in the upcoming games.
