However Cassell wasn’t completed there. He adopted up by dismissing Ayaan Khan along with his second ball, turning into the first bowler ever to take two wickets with the primary two balls of his ODI profession. The carnage continued as he eliminated Khalid Kail two balls later, and Shoaib Khan with the third ball of his second over. By this level, his figures learn an unbelievable 1.3-1-0-4.
