13 balls by Arshdeep Singh (India) vs South Africa, New Chandigarh 2025
South African opener Quinton de Kock was unstoppable, as all the Indian bowlers found it impossible to stop the left-handed batter, who was going on with a 200+ strike rate. Arshdeep Singh returned to the second spell of the match in the 11th over, just after the break. The left-arm Indian pacer delivered seven wides, including four consecutive wides, after starting the new spell with an over boundary to dangerous De Kock. Although Arshdeep conceded six and seven wides, he ultimately conceded 18 runs in that over.

13 balls by Naveen-ul-Haq (Afghanistan) vs Zimbabwe, Harare 2024
It was the first game of the three-match T20I series between the hosts Zimbabwe and the visitors Afghanistan at Harare in 2024. Chasing down the 145-run target, the Chevrons reached the target on the final over of the match and won by four wickets. The 15th over of the second innings can be called a game-changer, as Zimbabwe were 57 runs away in 36 balls, while they still had eight wickets in hand. Afghan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq had a 13-ball over in the 15th over, where the right-arm pacer recorded six wides and one no-ball. To handle a free hit due to a waist-high full toss no ball, which ended in a boundary, Naveen conceded four straight wides before the free hit ultimately ended with a four. However, Naveen also took a wicket after the free hit ended by dismissing Sikandar Raza for just nine runs. Naveen conceded 19 runs in that over while picking up one wicket.
12 balls by Sisanda Magala (South Africa) vs Pakistan, Johannesburg 2021
It was the second T20I between South Africa and Pakistan at Johannesburg in 2021, where South Africa won by six wickets after successfully chasing the 141-run target in 14 overs. It was the 12th over of the first innings when the South African right-arm pacer Sisanda Magala delivered a 12-ball over, including three no-balls and three wides. Magala started his over with three straight no-balls, following one wide, as the free hit ultimately ended with a four. Magala conceded a total of 18 runs in that over.
