Axar Patel Dismissed Finn Allen To Complete 300 T20 Wickets
It is important to note that Axar Patel dismissed Finn Allen to complete his 300th T20 wicket. Finn Allen had started aggressively against the spinner and smashed him for two big sixes. However, Axar had the last laugh.
On the very next delivery in the 7.6 over, he bowled a quicker, wider ball outside off stump. Finn Allen went back and tried to hit it but could only find Abhishek Sharma at deep extra cover. The fielder moved forward and completed a simple catch, and Finn Allen departed for 31 off 17 balls.
It is worth noting that Axar Patel also has an impressive record against Finn Allen in T20Is. In five innings, Allen had scored 66 runs off 29 balls but had been dismissed four times by the Indian spinner. His average against Axar stood at 16.5, with a strike rate of 227.58.
