OMG: 93 runs in 4 overs… all records broken, school cricket crushed in international match

New Delhi. 93 runs in a spell of 4 overs. That means boundary on almost every ball. There would hardly be a worse day for any bowler than the one that came in the life of Musa Jobarteh. It becomes difficult to believe in the ‘beating’ of Moses but it is said that statistics do not lie. These figures of Gambia’s Moses Jobarteh is the record for the most expensive bowling in T20 cricket.

The record of the most expensive bowling in T20 cricket was made on 23 October 2024 in the match between Zimbabwe and Gambia. This was the ICC T20 World Cup Sub Regional Africa Qualifier match. In this match, Zimbabwe had scored 344 runs for 4 wickets. This is also the biggest score in T20 International matches.

Captain Sikandar Raza scored the most runs for Zimbabwe in this match. he/she had scored 133 runs in 43 balls. In this innings he/she completed his/her century in 33 balls. This is the second fastest century in T20 International matches. Clive Mandade scored 53 runs in 17 balls and Brian Bennett scored 50 runs in 26 balls. Of these Zimbabwean batsmen, Musa Jobarteh was hit the most. This right-arm fast bowler had given away 93 runs in 4 overs. his/her economy rate was 23.25.

If anyone would have heaved a sigh of relief from this bowling of Musa Jobarteh, it would be Kasun Rajeetha of Sri Lanka. Before Musa, the unwanted record of most expensive bowling in T20 International matches was in the name of Rajita. Kasun Rajitha of Sri Lanka had given away 75 runs in a spell of 4 overs against Australia in 2019.
