39 runs happened in one over in T20 cricket this time. Such an incident took place in the match of the sub-regional East Asia-Pacific Qualifier ‘A’ event of the ICC Men’s Twenty20 World Cup.
On Tuesday (August 20, 2024), Samoan batsman Darius made history by scoring 39 runs in one over in T20 cricket. He is the fourth batsman in the cricket world to hit six sixes in an over. Besides, Vanuatu pacer Nalin Nipiko gave 3 no balls in the over.
When Nippiko came to bowl in the 15th over of the match, Viser ran amok on him. With 39, Viser surpassed Yuvraj Singh’s 36-run over in the 2007 T20 World Cup. Besides, Kieron Pollard hit six sixes in an over in 2021 and Dipendra Singh Airey in 2024.
Viser’s 22-yard rampage scored 132 off 62 balls. His innings had a total of 14 sixes. The right-handed batsman hit the first three ball sixes of the over. He could not use the next no ball. He took the team’s run to three figures by hitting the fourth legal ball again for a six.
The 28-year-old batsman did not get any runs off the fifth ball. But later hit the no ball and the sixth ball to take the run to the top. It is good to know that Viser has also created a record in international cricket as the first batsman of Samoa.
