Most dots in death overs in T20Is

A bowler is at a massive disadvantage when it comes to T20Is taking the Powerplay overs and field restrictions into consideration. While his first spell might turn out to be forgettable, he or she has a chance of making a successful comeback in his second spell.

Meanwhile, an outstanding death-over spell is what defines the true character of a bowler in the shortest format as it can be a make-or-break spell. Without further ado, here’s a look at three bowlers who have bowled most dots in death overs in T20Is.
