Kiwi speedster Lockie Ferguson produced the most economical spell in T20 World Cup history during the game against Papua New Guinea on Monday. The right-arm pacer bowled four maidens and picked up three wickets (3/0) at the Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad, to enter the record books.
The 33-year-old bettered Ugandan spinner Franco Nsubuga’s figures of 2/4 from four overs achieved against Papua New Guinea earlier in this edition.
Ferguson became the second player after Canada’s left-arm spinner Saad Bin Zafar to bowl four maidens in a T20I match. Saad had returned figures of 2/0 against Panama in 2021.
