On the final ball of the 16th over, Washington delivered a well-pitched ball that drifted in towards off stump. The New Zealand captain was lured forward to defend, but the ball straightened just enough to beat the outside edge, sneaking past him and crashing into the off stump. Washington’s brilliance continued on the last ball of the 20th over, where he bowled another good-length delivery, angled toward middle stump. His perfect off-spin tempted Rachin to step forward defensively, but again, the ball straightened and slipped past the edge, clipping the off stump. A disappointed Rachin shook his head as he walked off, while Washington celebrated his second wicket, embraced by his teammates. Fans on Twitter were quick to praise Washington’s skillful bowling.
