[{ "selector": ".uxulx-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga bagged three wickets for 8 runs as the UAE batters were bowled out for just 73 runs in 17.1 overs.

[{ "selector": ".qelxc-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "100%"} ] }]

However, it was his economy rate that caught the eyes of many people.

[{ "selector": ".pmgcf-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Hasaranga's 2 runs per over was the lowest economy rate for a bowler completing 4 overs in a match of the T20 World Cup.

[{ "selector": ".dasms-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

He is joint third alongside Ajantha Mendis and Mahmadullah on this list

[{ "selector": ".eclub-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Ajantha Mendis sealed the top spot after his 6/8 against West Indies in the 2012 T20 World Cup.

[{ "selector": ".nkilb-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Former Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah's 1/8 against Afghanistan in 2014 makes him the third player with an economy rate of 2.0.

[{ "selector": ".dnabd-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Mendis also has the second lowest economy rate in a match, at 2.25 against West Indies during the T20 World Cup in 2009.

[{ "selector": ".aigzc-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Hasaranga, who was the highest wicket-taker at the 2021 T20 World Cup, will hope to contribute with the bat to help Sri Lanka qualify for the Super 12.

[{ "selector": ".nndfi-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]
