Jofra Archer’s masterclass stuns Mitchell Marsh
In the 12th over of Australia’s innings, Archer came into the attack. The right-arm fast bowler immediately created pace and bounce, which made life difficult for the Australians. Marsh, who played the ball carefully, was caught off guard by a shot that went away from him. The ball went over the outside edge and hit the stumps, leaving Marsh stunned and in disbelief.
The dismissal was a testament to Archer’s skill and accuracy. The Barbadian seamer has been a force to be reckoned with in recent years and his ability to swing the ball both ways at high pace makes him a nightmare for batsmen.
