PAK vs ENG: A Savage delivery from Mark Wood To Azam Khan

PAK vs ENG: Azam Khan was out after scoring five runs in the fourth T20 match of the series.

Pakistan’s team went on a tour of England to prepare for the T20 World Cup, where a four-match T20 series was played between the two teams. Two matches of the series were canceled due to rain, while England won two matches. In the fourth match of the series, something happened to Pakistan’s wicketkeeper batsman Azam Khan which he will probably never forget.

Actually, on the second ball of the 11th over of Pakistan’s innings, Mark Wood bowled a bouncer on which Azam Khan tried to hit the bat with his eyes closed, due to which he lost his wicket. The video of this ball was shared on social media by the England Cricket Board, which is in the headlines at this time.

PAK vs ENG: Azam Khan was completely defeated by Mark Wood’s fast bouncer ball

However, the ball is so fast that by the time Azam Khan could save himself, the ball had already hit his gloves. Wicketkeeper Jos Butler jumped in the air and caught it. After Butler’s appeal, the field umpire declared Azam out. Azam felt that the ball had touched his shoulder.

When the third umpire checked it in the review, it was found that when Azam was beaten and the ball passed by him, it had touched his gloves. The field umpire’s decision was upheld when the spike came in the ultra edge and Azam had to return to the pavilion on zero in 5 balls.

Let us tell you that, Azam Khan had earlier flopped with the bat in the second T20 match played on 25 May and was out after scoring 11 runs. Azam Khan’s form before the T20 World Cup has increased the concern of the Pakistan team. Now it will be interesting to see whether the Pakistan team includes him in the playing eleven of the World Cup or not.
