Tanzim Hasan Shakib made the feat of most dot balls against Nepal on Eid morning. On Monday he bowled 4 overs and took 4 wickets with 7 runs including two maidens. Scored 21, which was the record for most scores in a T20 World Cup till then. The Bangladeshi pacer was dethroned after setting a record in the morning but was dethroned in the night. He lost the throne to New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson.
Papua New Guinea lost in front of Lockie Ferguson’s devastating bowling on Monday night. An over maiden in T20 cricket means a lot. Ferguson gave four over maiden there. He stopped Papua New Guinea for 78 runs by taking three wickets without spending any runs in 4 overs. And the Kiwi pacer has written his name in history as the first bowler in the World Cup. The name of Shakib, who made a record in the T20 World Cup with 21 dots against Nepal on Monday morning, has been overshadowed by Ferguson’s feat. Shakib’s record lasted just over 14 hours if Bangladesh time is taken into consideration. Shakib bowled 21 dol balls but Ferguson set a new record with 24 dot balls.
Ferguson scored 20 dot balls against Uganda in their third match. That 20 dot ball was also surpassed by Tanjim Shakib. In the space of a few days, he also surpassed Shakib with his 20 dot balls.
After such a feat, Ferguson expressed excitement about his bowling with the man of the match award, but expressed disappointment at the departure of the team, “Tough wicket for batting. It is a pleasure to bowl on such a wicket. Leaving today (tomorrow) with high hopes is disappointing. That’s the game. I haven’t bowled seam-up the whole time in very many T20 matches. The wicket was assisted. It was swinging.’
