World Twenty20 championships
Amir continued to impress as the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 tournament continued, taking a wicket in his opening spell in 6 of the 7 games he played, including the final. He was particularly effective at using the short ball, with his skiddy bouncers rushing onto the batsmen, often causing them to mishit the ball for a catch.

This set a world record of three wickets for a bowler in Twenty20 and 5 wickets for a team in one over.
