Impressive ODI debut by Umran Malik
Umran Malik stands tall in his debut as he cleans Devon Conway in his maiden over
Umran Malik debut: When he grabbed two early wickets on his debut to put New Zealand on the back foot, Umran Malik (2-66) demonstrated why he is viewed as a potential star of the white ball game. However, Williamson and Latham worked together to exhaust the India bowlers, who missed their lengths on a difficult surface.
On November 25, during the game against New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland, Umran Malik made his ODI debut and dismissed both middle-order batter Daryl Mitchell and New Zealand opener, Devon Conway, in the first over.
Young Indian Pacer from Jammu
In the 10th over, a 23-year-old fast bowler from Jammu and Kashmir entered the game. As his teammates congratulated him for getting rid of Conway, he was seen punching the air with joy.
You might wonder who is Umran Malik, he is an Indian pitcher, who started his first ODI match today against New Zealand. He has so far gotten things going with some quick fast bowling. Umran Malik’s opening ODI over was particularly impressive; the bowler reached 150 km/h with his bowling.
An unforgettable day for Umran Malik (Both Positively and Negatively)
After losing the toss, the Men in Blue were allowed to bat, and their batsmen did a good job, scoring 306/7 in the first ODI. After 15 overs of chasing the difficult goal, New Zealand had amassed a respectable 68/1. However, Conway (24 off 42) and his captain Kane Williamson’s second-wicket stand of 33 was broken by Umran.
Umran’s opening pitch in the 16th over was full and wide. To play a drive away from the body, Conway attempted. However, the southpaw could only manage an edge, which keeper Rishabh Pant gladly accepted.
Incredible Bowling Speed
During New Zealand’s run-chase, Malik bowled to Daryl Mitchell on the second ball of the 16th over, clocking a staggering 153.1 km. Mitchell was able to grab a couple of the delivery.
Good Day but the end result was not in his favor
Malik had several reasons to be happy after taking Devon Conway for his first ODI wicket in his third over. Following that, the batters for the Black Caps began to play Umran very cautiously.
Mitchell, who tried to throw his hands at a wide delivery but holed out to Deepak Hooda, was the second wicket that Umran took in his fifth over. But in the end, Tom Latham and Kane Williamson stood tall and made sure that New Zealand crossed the line.
