Bahrain seamer Ali Dawood delivered one of the best bowling performances in men’s T20I history, etching his name into the record books. Dawood’s sensational figures of 7 wickets for 19 runs are now the second-best bowling figures ever recorded in the shortest format of the game.

He reached the landmark achievement in the third match of the five-match T20I series between Bahrain and Bhutan in Gelephu. In the match, Bahrain opted to bat, posted a competitive total of 161 runs. Defending the total, Dawood was introduced into the attack in the third over of Bhutan’s innings, and he made an immediate impact.

Dawood brilliantly dismantled the Bhutan batting lineup, finishing with the extraordinary spell of 7/19 and helping his side limit Bhutan to 125/9 in 20 overs.
