Darius Visser Smashes Record-breaking 39-run Over In T20 World Cup Qualifier
T20 World Cup East Asia: Samoa's Darius Visser etched his name into the Cricket record books by scoring an unprecedented 39 runs in a single over during the T20 World Cup East Asia-Pacific Region Qualifier match against Vanuatu in Apia on Tuesday.
This historic feat, achieved in the 15th over of Samoa's innings, now stands as the most runs ever scored in a single over in T20 International (T20I) history, surpassing the previous record of 36, which had been achieved on five separate occasions.
The over in question was bowled by Vanuatu's Nalin Nipiko, who found himself at the mercy of Visser's relentless assault. The drama began with three consecutive sixes launched over deep midwicket by Visser, who then capitalized on a front-foot no-ball by sending the subsequent free hit soaring over the leg side for another maximum.
