IPL 2024: Pakistan's wicketkeeper-batsman Azam Khan is currently playing in the Caribbean Premier League. In this league, he has been bought by Guyana's Amazon Warriors. Azam could not do anything for the team and got out cheaply. How he got out is a matter of debate. The ball hit Azam's neck and he fell down.
The Amazon Warriors team faced Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. Azam's team got the win, but the batsmen got out badly and could not score big.
It was the 12th over of Guyana's innings chasing a target of 169 runs. Shamar Springer was bowling. Springer was about to bowl the third ball of his over. Then he saw that Azam was trying to come forward. Seeing this, Springer bowled the ball short. The ball was short so Azam tried to pull it, but missed due to not being in the right position. The ball hit his neck and then his face.
Not only this. The ball touched his body and went straight to the stumps. Azam fell down. Before he could understand anything, he went out. After falling on the pitch, he took off his helmet. Azam scored only nine runs off nine balls.
Batting first, Antigua scored 168 runs for the loss of six wickets. Fakhar Zaman and Imad Wasim scored the highest 40-40 runs for the team. Zaman played this innings with the help of three fours and two sixes in 30 balls. Wasim hit four fours and two sixes in 21 balls. Shai Hope scored the highest 41 runs for Guyana. In the last over, Dwayne Pretorius scored 16 runs off Mohammad Aamir's ball to give the team victory.
