Adil Rashid bowled a perfect googly to the on strike Australian opener Aaron Finch to set the social media platform on storm even though England failed to resist Australia from reaching their target score. They have already won the three-match tie 2-1. In the third T20I, Australia won the toss and opted to bowl first.
Johnny Barstow with his innings of 55 runs off 44 balls followed by Denly’s late knock of 29 runs off 19 balls, helped England to reach a considerable score. The total was not too high but it still showed up at 145 losing six wickets. For the bowling side, Adam Zampa took a couple of wickets for his side.
This Brilliant Match Between The Two Teams Was Good To Watch
In the chase, Australia won the game with three balls remaining. This was a really tight encounter and it went down to the wire. Finch and Mitchel Marsh contributed the most by hitting thirty plus runs. It was Rashid’s bowling which caught fans’ attention. He took three impressive wickets giving just 21 runs and almost created a whitewash situation for the Englishmen.
One of his outstanding moment came when Rashid bowled out Finch. The bowler managed to deliver a ‘Perfect Googly’ that find a way to the stumps between the bat and the pad. Finch got bamboozled by the stunning delivery. It would have been sweeter if England won the game. Then this moment could have been defining. Finch was also set with the intention to knock a delightful half-century.
However, this didn’t stop the rush of tweets from enthralled fans. The official account of the England Cricket team showed the video of Rashid’s wicket on Twitter by captioning, ‘ Siri, show me the perfect googly..look no further’.
Fans started to give their views of the matter in the reply box. It was just a brilliant delivery and the batsman had no answer. Not often do such breath-taking moments take place in a game of cricket. However, when they do, the fans just go berserk and so was the case once again.
Siri, show me the perfect googly…
Look no further ?

What Was The Reaction On The Pitch When Adil Rashid Got Finch Out?
One of them attached a ‘searching emoji’ reposting the same video from another source. Another fan commented, ‘Adil Rashid is too good’. The third one appreciated his performance in almost making the game for England. ‘Singlehandedly dragged England back into this game, incredible spell!’
Replies carried on with one person sending a GIF consist of spectators clapping in a view that Rashid’s performance is being admired. Two more interesting replies came in. One of them tweeted, ‘ Leg spin is difficult Art to learn. Perfect Googly to get’ with the Australian flag and an air hostess emoji to wave adieu to the visitors who would be returning empty-handed from the tour. The last one said, ‘How good is Adil Rashid tonight, unbelievable, best leggie in the world at the moment!!’
Well, the IPL is about to start and the world is excited about cricket once again. This is good to see as the players build towards the year’s biggest competition in the UAE.
