Most Five-fors for England in T20Is
The England Men’s team is currently participating in the ongoing 2022 T20 World Cup being played in Australia. The Three Lions started off their campaign on an impressive note after defeating Afghanistan in their first encounter. However, England had to suffer a loss in their second game against Ireland. Meanwhile, in this article, we will talk about three players who have grabbed a five-wicket haul in the 20-over format.
5/18 – Jenny Gunn vs New Zealand Women in Bridgetown in 2013
Former England’s pacer Jenny Gunn was in red hot form in a T20 game against the New Zealand side. The right-arm pacer took a five-wicket haul in her four-over quota and gave away just 18 runs to help her side gain victory against the White Ferns. Gunn retired from the international arena in 2019.
5/11 – Anya Shrusbole vs New Zealand Women in Wellington in 2012
Anya Shrubsole was simply excellent against the New Zealand side during a T20I game against New Zealand played in 2012. She finished her quota of four overs by only conceding 11 runs and scalped five wickets to restrict New Zealand to 80 for 9 in 20 overs. England later chased the score with ease and took a 1-0 lead in the series.
5/10 – Sam Curran vs Afghanistan in Perth in 2022
Sam Curran recently became the first England pacer in the men’s category to pick up a five-wicket haul in T20Is. The left-arm seamer achieved the feat against Afghanistan in their opening encounter of the T20 World Cup 2022. With the help of Curran’s spell, the Three Lions easily defeated Afghanistan and earned two vital points on the table.
