Steve Smith falls to incredible trap by Mohammad Amir as Pakistan take 100-run lead over Australia in Sydney test.
On Tuesday, Steve Smith fell to an incredible trap by his Pakistan teammate in the Australia-Pakistan cricket test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The Australian captain made a crucial mistake by not reading the new ball correctly, which allowed Mohammad Amir to land the trapping bouncer for a clean hat-trick.
The moment occurred in the 35th over of the match, when Amir took a quick delivery from paceman Shaheen Shah Afridi, who opted to bowl short of his full length. With Smith already poised to hit, Amir quickly reversed the ball and delivered another ball with pace and spin, causing Smith to reach back and get caught behind.
The catch was so impressive that it left many fans stunned, while others celebrated Amir's brilliant performance. According to reports, the wicket steamer was so pleased with the way he played that he hugged his teammate on the field.
This incident has come as a shock to the entire Australian team, who were previously looking strong in their campaign. However, it is important to note that Pakistan have been a force to be reckoned with throughout the tournament, and they will continue to cause problems for their opponents.
The win for Pakistan was led by Moeen Ali, who scored 78 runs in just 42 balls. This innings was particularly impressive because it came against the best bowling attack in the world, which included Australia's fastest bowler, Jasprit Bumrah.
Despite this, the Australians did not give up easily. They kept pushing hard and eventually got one run on the final delivery of the match. The result was an incredible 100-run victory for Pakistan, which could not have happened without the outstanding form of Mohammad Amir.
In conclusion, this incident will go down as one of the most memorable moments in Australian cricket history. Steve Smith's error was a crucial mistake, but Pakistan's performance throughout the match was nothing short of astonishing. It will be interesting to see how Australia bounce back from this defeat and continue their journey towards the top of the ICC rankings.
