Mohammed Amir, the left-arm experienced Pakistan pacer, has always been a vital member of the shortest format. He has the skill to pick up wickets with the new ball inside the powerplay and create problems for the opponent batters in the death overs, using the yorkers and the change of pace. And he continued the same during the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025.
During the recent game for the Trinbago Knight Riders, Mohammed Amir celebrated a great record in the shortest format of the game. It was the third ball of the 19th over of the first innings from the left-arm pacer as Fabian Allen drilled the ball away from his arc, aiming for a huge boundary.
But the right-handed batter didn’t get the elevation on the bat as Darren Bravo picked a fine catch. That was Amir’s first wicket of the evening, and he became the ninth bowler in the T20s to cross the 400-mark in the wickets column. He also became the second bowler from Pakistan for the celebration, as Wahab Riaz stands above him with 413 wickets in 344 innings.

The 33-year-old has overall picked up 71 T20I wickets in 61 innings at an average of under 22 and a strike rate of 18.6 with the best figures of 4/13 in an innings. Overall, the left-arm pacer has recorded 400 wickets in 336 innings at an average of 22.54 and a strike rate of 18.4 with an economy rate of 7.33, with eight four-wicket hauls and two five-wicket hauls.
The home side, Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, during the CPL 2025 clash, posted 167/6 on the board with Allen putting 45 runs in 20 balls and Imad Wasim remaining unbeaten on 39 runs in 27 balls. That looked like a decent score on the surface at the Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.
Trinbago wasn’t consistent in the chase. Colin Muro played a crucial knock of 44 runs in 18 balls, while Kieron Pollard remained unbeaten on 43 runs in 28 balls. But Pollard’s knock wasn’t enough to chase down the target as they faced an eight-run defeat.
