ICC T20 World Cup 2026: Top 3 Memorable Bowling Spells in the T20 World Cup History
Relive the top 3 greatest bowling performances by overseas bowlers in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup history.
2. Sunil Narine (3/9 vs Sri Lanka, 2012 T20 World Cup)
Sunil Narine produced a match-winning spell in the 2012 T20 World Cup final against Sri Lanka, playing a decisive role in the West Indies’ title triumph. Defending a modest total of 138 in front of a hostile Colombo crowd, Narine used his mystery spin to apply relentless pressure on the hosts.
He returned outstanding figures of three wickets for just an economical nine runs in 3.4 overs, dismantling Sri Lanka’s chase with crucial breakthroughs. Narine removed Mahela Jayawardene, halted the resistance by dismissing the in-form Nuwan Kulasekara, and then sealed the contest by claiming the wicket of Lasith Malinga, delivering the final blow that secured West Indies a memorable victory.
