#3 Mohammad Amir and Junaid Khan’s riot against Sri Lanka
The Men in Green registered a dramatic win over the Islanders by 3 wickets to book a semi-final berth.
It what looked like smooth sailing for Sri Lanka with Angelo Mathews and Dickwella looking set for a big target, the duo of Mohammad Amir and Junaid Khan produced classic spell of reverse swing to reduce the Lankans to 167/7 from a pretty comfortable 161/3 – 4 wickets and 6 runs in 22 balls!
While Amir claimed the important wickets of Dickwella (73) and Mathews (39), Junaid accounted for Dhananjaya de Silva (1) and Thisara Perera (1). Amir and Junaid returned with figures of 2/53 and 3/40 respectively from their 10 overs each. It should also be noted that the spell from Junaid included three maiden overs as well.
