Jasprit Bumrah, India’s ace bowler, dismissed Josh Little with a blistering yorker in the T20 World Cup match against Ireland on Wednesday (June 5) at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. Little’s 14 runs off 13 balls enabled Ireland from posting the lowest total in the showpiece ICC tournament.
The event occurred in the fifteenth over of Ireland’s innings. The speedster bowled a yorker at 145 kmph, and Little was outpaced. The ball struck the base of the middle stump.
