Usama Mir picked up his first-ever fifer in PSL history against the Lahore Qalandars and became the first-ever leg-spinner in the competition to bag 6 wickets in one match.
The Multan Sultans match winner thanked his mother for her prayers which inspired him to deliver a stellar performance. He expressed gratitude that she was present in the stadium when he achieved the historic feat.
While talking in a post-match press conference, Usama said, “My mother told me today that it is my wish that you bow down before the Almighty after taking a fifer, I want you to give your best performance.”
“I don’t know how much she is praying for me but it seems like her prayers are being heard, today I actually performed and bowed before the Almighty,” he said with jubilation.
The leg-spinner finished with a spell of 6-40 in his 4 overs quota and completely dismantled the middle order of Lahore Qalandars with his line and length and supreme pace variations.
The 28-year-old became the 14th bowler in Pakistan Super League history to bag a fifer and the 12th Pakistani player after Peshawar Zalmi’s Arif Yaqoob to achieve the feat.
Multan Sultans have now registered 5 wins in their first six matches and they are well poised to achieve the top spot in PSL season 9 while Lahore lost their sixth game in a row and are now out of the race for qualifying for the top four play-off places.
