England all-rounder Sam Curran sets England's T20I record

PERTH: England all-rounder Sam Curran scripted a record for the best bowling figures by an English bowler in T20I matches during his side's Super 12 match against Afghanistan in Perth on Saturday. The 24-year-old all-rounder claimed five wickets, conceding just 10 runs in 3.4 overs.

Before this, spinner Adil Rashid held the record. He had taken four wickets for two runs in 2.2 overs against the West Indies in Dubai in 2021. The two bowlers are followed by pacer Chris Jordan (4/6) against West Indies (2019) and David Willey (4/7) in 2019. Agencies
