In 1992 World Cup Final at MCG, when England were well poised to chase down 250 target, Imran Khan the skipper turned to his ace fast bowler Wasim Akram to bowl 35th over. Wasim took that as a challenge and bowled an exceptional over.
Waseem Akram bowled a spell that could be regarded as one of the most effective, skilful and amazing spells of reverse swing fast bowling. What he did with the ball in this spell, no one else could think of doing. Thus he proved that he had established himself as a “complete fast bowler” and that Imran Khan’s decision to give him the ball was the right decision. This was perhaps “Wasim Akram Best Swing and Reverse Swing Bowling”.
He took 2 wickets in 2 balls dismissing Allan Lamb and Chris Lewis on consecutive deliveries ensuring that Pakistan lifts 1992 World Cup. This Wasim Akram’s best over in 1992 World Cup Final and his overall performance took the game away from England. These two deliveries have entrenched in the memories of Pakistani Cricket fans ever since.
Wasim Akram went on to become the best ever Left Arm Fast Bowler of All Time.
