Pakistani leg spinner Usama Mir created history in the National T20 Cup by recording the best bowling figures by a Pakistani player in T20 cricket. Playing for Sialkot against Lahore Blues, Mir took 6 wickets for just 8 runs in a remarkable spell.
The match was played at the Imran Khan Cricket Stadium. His outstanding performance helped Sialkot dominate the game and secure a massive 110 run victory. Mir’s bowling dismantled the Lahore Blues batting lineup and left the team struggling to build any momentum.
With this achievement, Usama Mir broke a 17-year-old record previously held by Sohail Tanvir. Tanvir had taken 6 wickets for 14 runs while playing in the Indian Premier League in 2008. Mir’s figures of 6 for 8 are now the best by a Pakistani bowler in T20 cricket.
