'My Game Plan Wasn't Too Different': Mitchell Owen On Batting At No.6 On Dream T20I Debut
Mitchell Owen: Mitchell Owen made a dream start to his T20I career, starring with both bat and ball to help Australia seal a thrilling three-wicket win over West Indies in the opening match of the five-game series at Sabina Park, Jamaica.
he 23-year-old allrounder admitted to being more nervous with the ball than the bat on debut, but delivered when it mattered. Bowling his only over, Owen claimed the crucial wicket of Shai Hope for 55, sparking a dramatic collapse that saw West Indies lose 6 for 30 - a turning point in the match. His over, however, didn’t start ideally, as Shimron Hetmyer launched his first delivery for six.
"I thought I was on 36 off the over there when he smacked me for six first ball. But I was lucky Shai hit one up the shoot and got my first wicket. I was pretty nervous running in those first six balls, but nice to get it out of the way," Owen said.
