Best Pakistani Bowling Performance in ICC Champions Trophy

No.3 Muhammad Aamer(3/24):

It was at Johannesburg West Indies won the toss and decided to bat first. Pakistani bowlers were enthusiast and highly determined to perform better since they won the T-20 world cup freshly. Muhammad Aamer picked his first wicket of the match in the last ball of his first over. After a while he took his second wicket of T.M Dowlin. He pitches the ball out side off and it was turn in sharply. West Indies top order was crumbled and they were only managed to score 133. At that time West Indies was playing with their weakest team of the history. Their was no Gayle, Pollard, Narine and Bravo. Let us see how Pakistan play against West Indies in group matches next month.





No.2 Shahid Khan Afridi(5/11):


Afridi in this match bowl with the speed more than the average speed of a medium fast bowler. Although Kenya lost only two wickets till 67 but after a while the curtains of Kenya batting fall down when Afridi came. In this match eight wickets were taken by the spinners. 5 by Afridi and 3 by Shoaib Malik. This is Shahid Khan Afridi's second best performance. Afridi wrecked the batting line up by his performance from his quick spinning bowling.  Shahid Afridi is the only Pakistani player who has taken five wickets in ICC Champions trophy.



No.1 Rana Naved-ul-Hasan(4/25):

One of the best bowling performance by Pakistani bowler in ICC Champions trophy against India. It was Pakistan vs India match at Edgbaston. Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-haq won the toss and chose to field first. The bowler proves the decision of the skipper and took early wickets. Soon whole Indian team was collapse. Naved steals the wicket of Sehwag and Laxman and India were 73/5. Then it was the 'Wall of India' Rahul Dravid who stood in front of Pakistan fast bowlers and played a resisting knock of 67. At once it looked that India will score 220+. But it was the day of Rana Naved he took the wicket of Rahul Dravid and restricted India on 200. Rana Naved took 4 wickets and give 25 runs.

This year ICC Champions trophy-2013 Pakistani bowlers have big roleto play. Pakistan team has got spinner who is right now best in theworld i.e 'Saeed Ajmal'. Pakistan team has got the tallest fast bowler  in the history of cricket 'Muhammad Irfan'. His performances will be closely watched by Cricket Gurus in thisyear ICC Champions trophy. Pakistan team has one of the best bowlers but the problem is the inexperienced  in the fast bowling lineup in the absence of Gul that can be a turning point.
