Mohammad Amir’s career-best 5/30 pulled Pakistan out of trouble versus Australia as the Kangaroos went from 146/0 in the 23rd over to 307 all out in the 49th over in match 17 of the ICC World Cup 2019. Amir’s figures of 5-30 are the best by a Pakistan seamer in a World Cup since Wasim Akram’s 5-28 against Namibia in 2003. AdvertisingAmir conceded just one boundary in his 10 overs spell and none off his last 41 balls. 10-2-30-5 is also the most economical ten-over spell by a Pakistan pacer in four years. Best figures for Amir in ODIs:– 5/30 vs Aus, Taunton 2019– 4/28 vs SL, Colombo RPS 2009– 3/16 vs Ind, Oval 2017– 3/24 vs WI, Jo’burg 2009
