Lowest Team Totals (scores) In Twenty20 Cricket Matches..


Intwenty20 cricket, there're more chances of seeing sixes over after over than in one day internationals or test cricket cause batsmen play more freely in this shortest version than they do otherwise. Yuvraj Singh of India has already hit six sixes in an over against Stuart Broad of England and more batters will touch it soon.
Naturally, teams getting out for low scores in T20 cricket is equally more probable than in other two formats. why? don't we know free-ness leads of failures.

4 August 2008, 1st Semi-final of World T20 cup qualifiers, Belfast in Ireland where home team elected to field first and cleaned up visitors for just 67 runs. Only two batsmen {Steve Tikolo (13) & Thomas Odoyo (10)} could reach double figure mark other than extras which added 12. Who were the unplayable bowlers? Swing bowlers Peter Connell, AR Cusack and Kevin O'Brien took couple of wickets each while Andre Botha picked up three scalps. Interestingly, Ireland too had a troubled batting time, reaching their target with just 4 wickets and 5 ball in hand!

Ireland were at end of humiliation against West Indies in T20 world cup and attain the second position.
