10 times an unfancied bowler tore through a top batting side

5. Abdur Razzak vs South Africa

Abdur Razzak won the Man of the Match award, despite his side losing the match

5th November 2008 was a day on which Abdur Razzak made Bangladesh proud, with amazing figures of 4-16 in 3 overs against South Africa in a T20 International at the Wanderer’s Stadium. Despite being a full-time bowler for his national side, Razzak wasn’t really expected to make much of a dent in the mighty South African batting order.

However, he silenced naysayers, with the wickets of AB de Villiers and Justin Ontong among his four scalps. The match, shortened due to rain, was won by the South Africans by 12 runs, but Razzak won the Man of The 2.award, for his astounding performance with the ball.
