ICC Champions Trophy 2017: 5 best bowling performances in the tournament

#1 Mohammad Amir vs India (Final)

Amir was a tornado that ripped through the Indian top order

The explosive left-arm fast bowler saved his best for the very last and probably the biggest match of his limited over’s career. With 338 on the board, Pakistan were hoping for a couple of early wickets to restrict India’s advancements.

Amir, with the wickets of the ‘Big Three’ in sight, bowled the first over with Rohit Sharma taking the strike. After bowling two outswingers, Amir swung one into Rohit and umpire adjudged the MI captain leg before.

One down, two to go!

The 25-year-old’s next victim was the biggest fish of them all, Virat Kohli and he got the batsman out almost twice in two deliveries. Azhar Ali dropped a sitter in the slips but Shadab Khan held on to a leading edge from Kohli and Pakistan were suddenly on top of the world.

Last, but certainly not the last in these ICC tournaments, Shikhar Dhawan. The left-hander tried and stitch a small partnership with Yuvraj Singh to level up the situation. But Amir was having none of it. A cross-seamed delivery purchased extra bounce from the wicket, found the outside edge of Dhawan’s bat and went straight into Sarfraz’s gloves.

Amir returned with figures of 6-2-16-3.
