Amazing T20 moments to remember

January 24, 2022

The ICC World T20 is an international cricket tournament. The main event of the competition is a 20-over match, which means that each team bats for just one inning, and there are no restrictions on how long they can bat for. Cricket fans from all over the world tune in to watch their favourite players do battle in this fast-paced format. Some of the most exciting moments in cricket history have happened during this tournament. Here are some amazing moments to remember for all you cricket lovers out there!

“Gaylestorm” in Johannesburg, 2007 

It was the first ICC World T20 that took place in South Africa in 2007. The West Indies’ Chris Gayle came in to score the first century in T20Is. The South African team got within striking distance of the total but when they needed 29 off 9, it took a great effort from Gayle to get them there. It was his innings that sealed their win against South Africa in the first match for the men in maroon.

The famous Bowl-Out, 2007 

The 2007 ICC World T20 was the first time that bowl outs were used to decide who would progress further in the tournaments. It is a system where instead of having both teams compete, one team leaves the field when they have ten wickets and their opponents continue batting until they lose five wickets. India won this match against Pakistan by one wicket.

Pakistan vs. Sri Lanka, 2009 

The ICC World T20 is not always about two big cricketing nations, it’s also about the underdogs who battle to make their mark on the game. Such was the case for this match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan in 2009. The stadium erupted when Tillakaratne Dilshan hit Thisara Perera for six over long-off, which would help Sri Lanka win the match by one wicket. It was an unlikely moment to remember for cricket fans everywhere.

The Carlos Brathwaite saga, 2016

West Indies had to make 147 runs in 20 overs to win this match of the ICC World T20 against England. No one gave them a chance seeing how Chris Gayle had pulled out of the tournament with an injury and besides that, they were already struggling. The entire team got a start, but it was Carlos Brathwaite who smashed four consecutive sixes to seal the deal and take his team into the semi-finals.
