Full of yorkers, Pakistan right-arm pacer Zaman Khan bowled a fantastic spell in a GT20 Canada match between Toronto Nationals and Montreal Tigers on Sunday

Toronto Nationals won the toss and chose to field first. Due to a wet outfield, the match was, however, reduced to a six-over contest a side.

After a slow start, the Montreal Tigers picked up the pace and scored 66 off the next four overs. As the fifth over concluded, the Tigers were at 75/1, nearing 100. At this point, Zaman was handed over the task to bowl the final over of the innings. In his previous over, Zaman conceded a total of 18 runs, including two sixes and three wides.

The 21-year-old delivered the final over with complete accuracy for what he is known for. Tigers' batsmen were rather helpless in front of Zaman's all-but-perfect yorkers.

Montreal Tigers ended on 77/2 when Sherfane Rutherford attempted to run a bye on the last ball but was run out in order to do so. Hence, Zaman just one run in his final over, and ended up with figures of 0/19 in his two-over spell.

Conversely, Toronto Nationals failed to utilize the momentum they gained in the final over and went short of 23 runs to reach the target.
