#3 Ishan Porel’s late entry in the tournament
Ishan Porel’s injury in the first game of the tournament against Australia was rather unfortunate. Not only did he miss all of India’s league games henceforth, he also missed out on an opportunity to display his mettle on the big stage that could have fetched him an IPL contract. However, he failed to let the disappointment of missing out get to him in the semi-finals as he displayed a fine bowling spell in Christchurch at the Hagley Oval.

He began with a wonderful shorter delivery that cramped the batsman up for the room, only to dismiss him a few overs later. Imran Shah fell to an outside off delivery and Ali Zaryab too followed a similar route. Porel was assisted by the three maiden overs that were sent down by Mavi from the other end, which helped create an unwarranted pressure on the young Pakistani players.
The Bengal pacer picked up his fourth wicket when he dismissed Ammad Alam for 4 and by then, Pakistan had well and truly been kicked out of the game.
