Highlight

  • Jammu Express ended with figures of 4-54-1.
  • Umran did not bowl as fast as we have seen him in the IPL.

Umran Malik had a rough day at the office in the third and final T20I of the series as Jammu Express finished with figures of 4-54-1. she sent Jason Roy Back, but his lines were everywhere, and the England batsmen took full advantage of it.

One more thing to note is that Umran did not bowl as fast as we have seen him IPL, Their speed mostly ranged between 142-146 kmph. It seemed like it was a conscious effort by Malik to focus more on his lines. But, it did not pay dividend.

As expected, Twitter had things to say. These are some reactions.
