PAK vs ENG | Twitter goes wild as Jamie Smith sparks Bazball with a huge six leaving Sajid Khan baffled
Spinners can disrupt an opposition's attacking approach and break their momentum. This was evident when the host spinners managed to put England on the back foot but Jamie Smith adopted an aggressive mindset, countering their efforts and looking to shift the momentum back in favour of England.
On the third ball of the 59th over, Sajid bowled a flighted delivery outside off stump, perfectly positioned for Smith, who executed a slog sweep over deep mid-wicket. The ball soared into the gallery, surprising Sajid, who had just taken four crucial wickets. To compound Sajid's frustration, a ball later, Smith replicated his effort, smashing another big hit off a fuller delivery towards long-on. Smith's explosive performance garnered praise on social media, with Twitter users celebrating his bold "Bazball" approach.
