Adam Milne’s double shocks Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in ILT20 2025
Milne’s brilliance began with the dismissal of Phil Salt in the third plus. Milne bowled a slightly fuller ball that spun sharply onto the stumps. Salt, attempting an expansive drive through the covers, failed to account for the inswinger. A significant gap between bat and pad allowed the ball to hit the stumps, leaving him bowled for 2 off 7 balls, with a strike rate of 28.57.
Milne continued his onslaught just three deliveries later, this time sending Kyle Mayers back to the pavilion with an absolute class delivery. A full, over-field ball angled to middle leg and shaped late with exquisite seam movement. Mayers, in brilliant form with a brisk 21 off 9 balls (2 fours and 2 sixes, SR 233.33), misjudged the line, playing to mid-wicket. The ball beat his bat and obliterated the off stump, leaving the Knight Riders reeling at 26/2.
Milne’s spell was a masterclass in swing bowling, showcasing pace, accuracy and control. His figures of 1.5 overs, 2 wickets for just 9 runs, underlined his dominance in the game. These early breakthroughs put the Knight Riders under immense pressure, disrupting their momentum and exposing their middle order to the new ball. Milne’s impact with the ball set the tone for his side’s dominance during the match, highlighting his value as a game-changing bowler.
