Former Australian player Tom Moody has highlighted Tabraiz Shamsi, the top-ranked bowler in T20 cricket. South Africa’s spin assault will be led by the left-arm wrist-spinner at the T20 World Cup 2021.
Given the spin-friendly characteristics of the surfaces. Shamsi will hope to play a vital role for the Proteas in the competition. In South Africa’s tournament opener against Australia. He bowled a tight session of 1-22, but the Proteas did not have many runs to defend.
T20 World Cup
Because of Shamsi’s recent form and pedigree. Moody believes that teams will be wary of him and will not assault him right away. He stated that the West Indies, whom South Africa will face tonight, will play Shamsi on merit.
“I think it will be a brave team who takes on that approach against Shamsi. The approach would be to accumulate but then put him under pressure if he does err in length. If he gets too full, you can guarantee that the West Indies will take him on, and again, if he drags the ball too down, well knowing the West Indies batting, they will take that on as well.” Moody said
However, Shamsi enters the World Cup in good form, having played well in the West Indies, Ireland, and Sri Lanka. Thus, He was signed as a replacement player by the Rajasthan Royals for the second leg of the IPL 2021, although he only played one game.
Former West Indies batsman Darren Ganga has expressed reservations about the capacity of the West Indies batting squad to deal with Shamsi’s talents and variations.
Therefore, In a five-match T20I series earlier this year, the Caribbean batsmen struggled against Shamsi, who was named Player of the Series.
