Mustafiz, the left-arm fast bowler, took an important wicket, giving away only 12 runs in 4 overs against the Netherlands. This helped his team win by 25 runs.
In the previous match against Sri Lanka, Mustafiz took three wickets. Although he didn’t take any wickets against South Africa, his bowling was still useful for the team.
His coach noted significant improvements in his bowling since 2016-17. Earlier, his fast deliveries were around 140-145 km/h, and slower ones around 110-115 km/h, but now his fast ones are at 130-135 km/h, and slower ones at 115-120 km/h. This makes him more challenging for batsmen to predict.
His coach also praised his smart bowling tactics, especially during the recent match in New York. Mustafiz didn’t rely on Yorkers like other bowlers but still managed to keep the runs tight. In the 18th over against South Africa, he gave away only 1 run, showcasing his clever strategy.
