A T20 match can go one of two ways for a bowler. After putting in a splendid performance, a bowler could potentially have great figures to show for the game. Conversely, with poor bowling and a destructive batsman to face, the bowlers figures could make for horrific viewing. Here are 5 bowlers who have conceded the most runs in a single over of a T20 match.
- Stuart Broad: 36 runs – Who can forget the six sixes that our very own Yuvi hit Stuard Broad for during the T20 world cup of 2007. This sort of power hitting was instigated by Andrew Flintoff who was sledging Yuvraj Singh, which resulted in Broad bearing the brunt of his actions. Yuvraj Singh hit Broad for 6 maximums all around the park, making it the most expensive over of all time at 36 runs conceded.
- Shivam Dube: 34 runs – The powerful batsman, medium paced all-rounder was hit all around the park by Ross Taylor and Tim Siefert during a T20 series vs India. His bowling figures however did not cost India the match as they went on to whitewash the Kiwis by a 5-0 series scoreline
- Wayne Parnell: 32 runs – The talented South African pacer was hit for 32 runs by the Englishman Jos Buttler who is known for his power hitting. His over figures were 6, 6, 2, 1, no ball, 4 no ball,4, 6, 2.
- Izatullah Dawlatzai: 32 runs – Dawlatzai achieved these dubious figures when minnows Afghanistan took on cricketing giants England. He was hit for 56 runs in his spell, as England blew away Afghanistan by a huge margin of 116 runs
