Adil Rashid took four wickets against Oman in England’s victory in Antigua.

Leg-spinner Adil Rashid starred in England’s massive win over Oman in their Group B encounter of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua, on Thursday.

Rashid returned with mind-blowing bowling figures of 4/11 in his quota of four overs that helped England bundle Oman for only 47 runs, which the Three Lions gunned down in merely 3.1 overs to give their net run rate a significant boost.

After the Oman batters were rattled by the pace and bounce of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, Rashid spun a web around them and cleaned up the middle and lower order. His four-wicket haul included messing up the stumps of lower-order batter Fayyaz Butt with a perfect googly.

On the fifth ball of the 11th over of Oman’s innings, Rashid sent down a loopy delivery that pitched on a good length outside the off-stump. Such was the perfect length of the delivery that Butt was left confused in playing on the front foot or back foot. Eventually, his feet remained firm on the ground.

The ball then spun in sharply upon pitching. Butt tried to play a cut shot but the ball snuck under his bat and clattered into the sticks. Rashid flummoxed Butt both in the air and off the pitch with his superb googly.

Upon bagging the Player of the Match award, Adil Rashid said, “Thought we bowled exceptionally well. Felt good to see that first ball turn so much. Obviously getting a wicket first ball sets the tone as well. I tried to adjust in the first over or so. It was spinning quite a bit so it was hard to keep it in the wickets, that meant I had to bowl outside leg a little bit. (On a 5-fer) Yea I was looking for it, if I got it great, if i didn’t it was fine. We’re going to take it one game at a time. We’ve got Namibia next.”
