T20 World Cup: Most expensive first over in an innings

October 26, 2022 Noel Adrian Corera

New Zealand's Nathan McCullum is fifth with 17 runs in one over.

The Kiwi bowler got this poor record against Sri Lanka during the 2012 T20 World Cup.

[{ "selector": ".njadg-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-347px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Pakistan's Sohail Tanvir is fourth on this list having conceded 18 runs in an over.

Sohail gave away 18 runs in the first over against Sri Lanka in London during the 2009 T20 World Cup.

Scotland's Callum McLeod is number third on this list and conceded 19 runs in an over.

Callum gave away 19 runs in the first over against New Zealand in London in 2009.

Kagiso Rabada of South Africa is second after conceding 21 runs in an over.

Kagiso was added to this list after his over against England during the 2016 T20 World Cup.

Zimbabwe's Tendai Chatara now holds the record for giving away the most runs in an over.

In the first over of the innings during their match against South Africa, Chatara gave away a massive 23 runs!
