Nauman Ali celebrating his wicket during day four of the second Test against Sri Lanka - SLCNauman Ali's selection in the Test playing XI was called out by many people following his recent form in the longer format of the game. The left-arm spinner, a product of Pakistan's domestic cricket, made his debut in 2021 at the age of 34. He bagged five-fer in his debut Test against South Africa in Karachi. Nauman's recent performance was not up to the mark, that was the reason why people questioned his inclusion in this Test series against Sri Lanka. But, the spinner turned the tides by bowling one of his best spells in Tests. He took seven wickets in second innings of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Thursday. After his performance, fans changed their opinion and highly praised him.  On day 4 of the second Test that Pakistan won by an innings and 222 runs, Naseem Shah set the tone for Nauman who was brilliant with his spell of 7-70.Nauman, 36, made a solid comeback following all the criticism and thrashed the batting line of Sri Lanka after they were trailed by 410 runs. Pakistan declared their first innings at 576-5 soon after Mohammad Rizwan completed his half-century within starting two overs on the fourth day.Nauman provided an early breakthrough to Pakistan which forced Sri Lanka to go out for Lunch at 81-1. Post-Lunch, Nauman was on song with his spin attack and took five more wickets in no time.Before Tea, Nauman took all six wickets as Sri Lanka walked out with 143-6 on the scoreboard.Following Tea, Naseem once again started his hunt for a wicket but it took so long for him to take his first wicket in the innings. Meanwhile, an 'out' decision off him was also overturned after which Nauman bagged his seventh to go closer to the world record of bagging all 10 wickets in an innings.However, Naseem finally struck, and that too in style, picking all the last three wickets in a row.  Comments Submit مضمون کا ماخذ:raspadinha resultados
