#2 Imad Wasim 5/14 vs West Indies at Dubai

The Windies batsmen found it hard to get the measure of Imad Wasim

Rolling over the reigning world T20 champions- West Indies- is no piece of cake and every team had some sort of a nightmare against them. Their bulging batsmen relish upon demolishing oppositions from the word go and along with some canny bowling and athletic work on the field, they are tough nuts to crack.

The Windies were locking horns with an in-form Pakistan team in the first T20 at the Dubai International in September and yet another Caribbean Calypso was anticipated from their batsmen. Imad Wasim, however, had other ideas and dismantled the West Indies during the power-play, reducing them to 7/47 in the eleventh over.

Five-wicket hauls don’t come easy in T20I’s and Wasim raced away to becoming the first Pakistan bowler to the feat as no batsman came to terms with his trajectory. Not a massive turner of the cricket ball, Wasim used his arm ball to good effect and ended with figures of 4-0-14-5, leading Pakistan to victory by nine wickets.
