Zaman Khan's last-over brilliance seals the deal again

Pakistani pacer Zaman Khan once again showcased why he is known as the "last over specialist" in a thrilling match between Toronto Nationals (TN) and Vancouver Knights (VK) in the Global T20 Canada league on Friday.

Representing Toronto Nationals, Zaman was tasked with defending 13 runs in the final over against the South African T20 maestro, Rassie van der Dussen.

Zaman conceded only a single to Fabian Allen in his over, putting early pressure on the batting side. The tension increased as the pacer bowled two successive dot balls to van der Dussen, amplifying the challenge for the VK batsman.

Zaman delivered brilliantly, dismissing van der Dussen on the last ball of the over. His exceptional performance ensured that only three runs were conceded in the final over, leading his team to a thrilling nine-run victory and marking TN's first win of the tournament.

Zaman Khan the Qalandar!
