No need for fielders, Pakistan bowler picks up all 10 wickets alone

No need for fielders, Pakistan bowler picks up all 10 wickets alone

New Delhi: To take a 10-wicket haul in an innings is not only a herculean task on international level but it is also tricky task on any level of cricket.


Right arm fast bowler Mohammad Ali achieved that rare feat in Pakistan domestic cricket. Playing for Zone III, Ali got all 10 wickets against Zone VII in the second innings at Karachi’s UBL sports complex to help his team win by an innings and 195 runs.


In a match played between Zone 3 and Zone 7, Ali led the bowling attack to guide Zone 3 to victory by clinching everything on offer.


Zone 3 won the toss and put Zone 7 to bat first. Zone 7 scored 72 runs while Ali claimed 2 wickets.


Zone 3 took 218 runs lead and it was Ali on the other end who grabbed the headline. The pacer single handedly destroyed Zone 7’s batting line-up on 23 runs.


What made Ali’s achievement even more special was that fact that all 10 wickets sneered by him were without any fielders’ help. Nine of them were bowled while one was adjudged LBW


The tournament doesn’t hold first class status, hence the record will not be entered in the books, but Ali’s performance will surely attract selectors’ eye for future assignments.


On International level only Anil Kumble and Jim Laker have clinched all 10 wickets in an innings.
