While South Africa bagged a confidence-boosting win, their spinner Tabraiz Shamsi secured an unwarranted record.

Shamsi overhauled Johan Botha's record. The former right-arm off-spinner had conceded 80 runs in 10 overs.
Imran Tahir is third on this list. The former leg-spinner had conceded 76 runs in a match against Sri Lanka in 2017.
Tabraiz Shamsi also occupies the 5th spot on this list. He had leaked 75 runs against Pakistan in 2019.
