5 times batsmen won a match with the ball

It is not often that we see a batsman bowl the last over in an ODI or get the last wicket of a Test Match and win the game for his side. So when it happens it certainly makes for an interesting game.

Let us have a look at five premier batsmen who have turned the course of the match by rolling their arm over.

#1 Glenn Maxwell

It was a dead rubber in Adu Dhabi between Pakistan and Australia. The home side were chasing a modest total of 232. Pakistan looked like pocketing a consolation win after cruising to 154 for 3. One predictable thing with Pakistan cricket is their unpredictability. They started losing wickets in quick succession and were left to chase 2 runs in the last over, with 2 wickets in hand.

George Bailey tossed the ball to Glenn Maxwell. Batting teams are always the favorites to win the game from such a situation but Maxwell bowled a brilliant double wicket maiden to win the game for his side.
