Most of the maidens have played in the T20 World Cup
The T20 format is a fast-paced game that demands a lot from both batsmen and bowlers. But this is the reason why it is watched all over the world. But no one can predict the outcome as one over or a few balls can completely change the outcome of the match. This is the reason why this format creates a lot of excitement among fans.
However, the bowlers have a very tough task to complete in the match as they have only four overs. But pressure always brings out the best of the best. This is the reason why bowlers play an important role in any victory. And the bowling of the girls in the match is just like gold dust. So in this article, we will discuss the best bowlers with most girls in the T20 World Cup.
3. Mohammad Amir (3 girls) in 17 matches
Pakistan has always produced some of the best left-arm pacers the game has ever seen. Mohammad Amir was also one of those promising young talents who made his name at the international level very early. But due to some controversies, it completely ruined his career. He bounced back, but not as good as the first few days.
However, he achieved a lot in his career with just a few overs. He is third on the list. Amir represented Pakistan from the 2009 to 2016 T20 World Cup stages. During this period he played 17 matches and collected 17 wickets with an economy rate of 7.18. He also bowled 3 first overs in that period.
2. Ajanta Mendis (3 girls) in 21 matches
It would not be wrong to say that Sri Lanka is home to the best spinners in the world. We have several examples of spinning that come from this country. Ajantha Mendis was also good and ranked highly among the mystery spinners. His numbers are exceptional when it comes to the T20 World Cup.
He is currently fifth among World Cup goal scorers. Mendis played for Sri Lanka from 2009 to 2014. He also won the Ballon d'Or. Mendis took 35 wickets in 21 matches with a best figure of 6/8. He has also bowled three maidens in the history of the tournament.
1. Harbhajan Singh took 4 maidens in his innings in 19 matches
There is only one man who has won four maidens in T20 World Cup history. And it is none other than former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh. He was an important part of the Indian team that won the first T20 World Cup in 2007.
Bhaji played 19 matches for India between 2007 and 2012 World Cup. In this period, he played a total of 69 balls under the basket and won 16 goals. The former shortstop ranks first with four maidens in history. He is the only one who does. So it will be interesting to see if anyone can break their record or not.
