Best bowling figures in T20 World Cup: The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 kick-started in June in the USA and West Indies. 

So far, it’s been a nice balance between bat and ball, unlike the IPL 2024 where the batters heavily dominated the bowlers during the league phase. In the first week of the T20 World Cup, there have been plenty of low-scoring games due to the nature of the pitches present in this part of the world.

Talking about bowlers, in this article, we will see the top 5 bowling spells in T20 World Cup history.

England’s Sam Curran was on fire during the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. He won the Man of the Tournament for picking 13 wickets in 6 games in the competition as England won the title. Five of those wickets came in a match against Afghanistan, and four of them came in the death overs. Curran’s 5/10 helped England bowl Afghanistan out for only 112.

4. Fazalhaq Farooqi (5/9) v Uganda, T20 World Cup 2024

Afghanistan’s left-arm pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi blew away the Uganda top- and middle-order with his brilliant bowling performance in their T20 World Cup 2024 match in Guyana. Afghanistan posted 183 while batting first, and Farooqi’s 5/9 meant they recorded a win by a huge margin of 125 runs as Uganda were bowled out for only 58.

3. Umar Gul (5/6) vs New Zealand, T20 World Cup 2009

In the Pakistan vs New Zealand group match in the 2009 T20 World Cup in London, veteran pacer Umar Gul starred with the ball for the Asian side as he dismantled the Kiwis with his spell of 5/6 in 3 overs in the second half of New Zealand’s innings. The Black Caps were bundled for 99, which Pakistan chased down with ease.

4. Rangana Herath (5/3) vs New Zealand, T20 World Cup 2014

One of the best-ever bowling performances in the T20 World Cup came from Sri Lankan legend Rangana Herath against New Zealand during Sri Lanka’s title-winning campaign in 2014. 

In Chattogram, Sri Lanka were knocked over for 119. However, the Lankans won the game by 59 runs as Herath spun a web around the Kiwi batters, claiming sensational figures of 5/3. New Zealand were bowled out for only 60 runs. Two of Herath’s 3.3 overs were maidens!

1. Ajantha Mendis (6/8) vs vs Zimbabwe, T20 World Cup 2012

The best bowling figures in T20 World Cup history belong to Sri Lanka’s Ajantha Mendis, who took 6/8 against Zimbabwe in the first match of the T20 World Cup 2012 at home. Mendis is the only bowler to have taken 6 wickets in a game in T20 World Cup. Sri Lanka decimated Zimbabwe by 82 runs courtesy of Mendis.
