Most Wickets in Single T20 Inning: In T20 cricket, generally you must have seen that the batsmen are more dominant than the bowlers. It is a very difficult task for the bowlers to restrict a team to a score of less than 150 runs. Since a bowler can bowl a maximum of 4 overs in this format, it seems impossible to take 5 wickets in a T20 match. If we say that a bowler took 9 wickets in a T20 match, would you believe it?

Yes, this is completely true. This is the case of Brazil, whose national women’s cricket team’s all-rounder Laura Cardoso took 9 wickets in a single T20 innings. Cardoso has become the bowler taking the most wickets in a T20 innings in men’s and women’s cricket combined.

Entire team all out on 13 runs

The teams of Brazil and Lesotho were face to face in women’s T20 cricket. Batting first, the Brazilian team scored 202 runs in the allotted 20 overs.

The entire Lesotho team, which came to chase the huge target, was all out for just 13 runs. The entire team could bat only 6.2 overs. No player of the Lesotho team could touch double figures in terms of runs and 8 batsmen could not even open their account.

Three overs, 4 runs and 9 wickets

Laura Cardoso bowled three overs in this match, out of which 2 were maidens. He dismissed a total of 9 batsmen. The remaining one wicket went to the account of Marian Arthur, who took the wicket on the very second ball of his spell. The 13 runs scored by Lesotho is the 7th lowest score by any team in Women’s International T20 cricket. In women’s cricket, the team of Maldives and Mali has been all out for just 6 runs.
