Bahrain Pacer Ali Dawood Claims Second-best Figures In Men's T20I History
T20 World Cup Asia: Bahrain pacer Ali Dawood etched his name into the record books by picking 7-19, the second‑best figures in men’s T20I history, against Bhutan. The 33‑year‑old seamer became only the second bowler after Malaysia’s Syazrul Idrus to take seven wickets in a T20I.
His efforts dismantled Bhutan’s chase in Gelephu and sealed a 35‑run win for Bahrain in the third match of their five‑game series. Introduced in the third over, Dawood struck twice to leave the hosts tottering at 11/3, before returning late to rip through the lower order.
Dawood, who was born in Sialkot in Pakistan, claimed three wickets in the 16th over and two more in his next over to finish with 7-19. Despite having a 67‑run fourth‑wicket stand, Bhutan were bowled out for 125, handing Bahrain, who made 160/4, a 2‑1 lead in the five‑match series.
