10 Best Tweets On Mohammed Shami’s Brilliant Last Over: The third T20I match between India and New Zealand turned out to be an absolute thriller one as both the teams gave their best to win the match. After two convincing performances, Team India was looking to seal the series as the action shifted from Auckland to Hamilton. On the other hand, New Zealanders tried their best to win the game.

However, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey and Ravindra Jadeja turned the tables for team India and gave a target of 179 runs to New Zealand.
In the second innings, New Zealand’s skipper Kane Williamson walked in with blazing guns and went on to give a powerful knock by scoring 95 runs off 48 balls, smashing 8 fours and 6 sixes. However, India’s Mohammed Shami shattered their hopes into pieces.

Well done Mohammad Shami. My word, the pressures of finishing the job in sport, even for the best. Goes to show why Ben Stokes chose to first just get bat on ball in the WC Final instead of swinging hard. #NZvIND

Years later, the last five balls by #Shami will be remembered as one of the finest examples of death bowling.
The line. The length. Everything.#NZvIND #NZvsIND
