Mohammad Wasim Jr looked great with the ball against Bangladesh.
Mohammad Wasim Jr dismissed Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taskin Ahmed in the same over.
The 22-year-old Pakistan National Cricket Team pacer Mohammad Wasim Jr rattled the stumps of the Bangladesh National Cricket Team player Taskin Ahmed in the 31st match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Tuesday, October 31.
Taskin Ahmed was forced to walk in to bat with a lot of overs remaining after the top-order batters of the Bangladesh National Cricket Team failed miserably. He tried to chip in with crucial runs but was eventually bamboozled by Mohammad Wasim Jr. He was back in the pavilion after contributing 6 runs off 13 balls.
Wasim came to bowl the 44th over of the innings and cleaned up Mehidy Hasan Miraz on the first ball of the over itself with a brilliant delivery. He then bowled a 142.5kph delivery to dismiss Taskin on the third ball of the same over.
Wasim bowled a full-length delivery and the batter played for the line, but the ball swung away, beat the outside edge, and rattled the stumps to leave Bangladesh tottering at 201/9.

Earlier, Bangladesh won the toss and elected to have a go with the bat first. Once again they failed miserably against the new ball and lost the wickets of Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, and Mushfiqur Rahim inside 10 overs. They were reduced to 23/3 and it looked like a low total was on cards.
However, star players Litton Das and Mahmudullah provided some stability with their decent partnership. Das was unable to complete his fifty, but Mahmudullah reached the milestone, although he wasn’t able to convert it into a big score.
In the end, Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz chipped in with crucial runs, but Bangladesh were eventually bundled out for 204 in 45.1 overs.
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam
Pakistan (Playing XI): Abdullah Shafique, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Rizwan(w), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Agha Salman, Shaheen Afridi, Usama Mir, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Haris Rauf
