Washington Freedom’s domestic batter Mukhtar Ahmed gets a fortunate six off New Zealand’s Matt Henry as a top edge flies over the fine leg boundary in Match 20 of MLC on 22nd July.
Henry banged it in short, and Mukhtar Ahmed went for the pull, only to get a thick top edge that had just enough on it to clear the ropes. A lucky but valuable six for WF!
There were so many amazing performances in 2024 by US Men. They couldn’t all fit in our countdown, but these amazing ones must be celebrated as well! 🇺🇲🏏
