T20 World Cup: Ferguson Most Economical As New Zealand Thrash PNG By 7 Wickets
Papua New Guinea: New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson bowled the most economical spell of 4-4-0-3 in T20I history against Papua New Guinea as the Black Caps wrapped up their campaign with a seven-wicket victory in ICC Men's T20 World Cup on Monday.
Ferguson bowled all maiden overs in his four-over spell -- the first time in the history of T20I cricket. This is also the first time in the history of T20 cricket that a bowler had bowled 24 successive dot balls in a match.
With Ferguson, who was adjudged the Player of the Match, taking three wickets and Trent Boult (2-14), Tim Southee (2-11) and Ish Sodhi (2-29) claimed a double each as PNG were bowled out for a paltry 78 in 19.4 overs in the Group C clash.
