Veteran India pacer Mohammed Shami put on a bowling spectacle in his first and only over of the T20 World Cup 2022 warm-up match against Australia on Monday.

India skipper Rohit Sharma handed the ball to Shami in the 20th over of the match when the Aussies required 11 runs from 6 balls to win the contest.

Shami produced one of the most memorable performances of his career in the shortest format as he picked up 3 wickets in the over, helping India win by 6 runs.

The challenge of defending 10 runs in the final over was a big one for Shami who had only arrived in Australia a few days ago and was added to the Indian team as a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah.
