The biggest award of a match for any cricketer is Player of the Match. For this reason this award becomes special for any player. Usually this award is given to those players who perform very well on the field, be it with bat or ball. However, sometimes this award is given for magical performance in fielding also, but in the history of cricket, there is a player who neither scored a single run with his bat, nor did he take a wicket while bowling and even in fielding he did not do anything special. Despite this, he was chosen Player of the Match. Here we are going to tell about this cricketer, who has a very interesting story behind becoming the player of the match.
Cameron Cuffy was chosen player of the match
Former West Indies fast bowler Cameron Cuffe won the Player of the Match award in 2001. Kafi became the player of the match in an ODI match against Zimbabwe. Actually, Kafi had received this award for his special performance in bowling. It so happened that Cameron Cuffy bowled the most economical bowling in the match, due to which he was given the Player of the Match award. Even though Kafi did not take a wicket in this match, it proved very difficult for the batsmen to score runs in front of his sharp bowling. He gave only 20 runs in 10 overs, which included two maiden overs. His bowling played an important role in deciding the result in favor of West Indies.
This was the condition of this match
Batting first in this match played in Harare, West Indies scored 266 runs at the loss of 5 wickets in 50 overs. In reply, West Indies restricted Zimbabwe to 239 runs for nine wickets and won the match by 27 runs. Zimbabwe worked very hard to win, but they were very few, they showed stinginess in giving runs despite not getting wickets and gave victory to West Indies.
