Lockie Ferguson’s Record-Breaking Performance
In this match, New Zealand’s Lockie Ferguson gave a historic performance. Lockie has created a record that is almost impossible to break. Lockie bowled all his four overs maiden. In T20 cricket, every bowler can bowl a maximum of 4 overs. Lockie bowled these 4 overs maiden i.e. did not give a single run. Lockie bowled 3 out of 4 overs, i.e. no runs were scored in those 3 overs. So 1 over was bowled only maiden. Lockie also took a total of 3 wickets.
