5 Lowest totals in T20Is this decade

#1 Turkey vs Czech Republic (Romania Cup, 30 August 2019)

Czech Republic

Turkey registered the lowest total in the history of T20 cricket as they got bundled out for just 21 in 8.3 overs chasing down a score of 279 against Czech Republic. It was the scoreboard pressure which got better of the Turkey batsmen as they kept playing rash shots in pursuit of the mammoth target that was in front of them.

Czech Republic’s middle order batsman Sudesh Wickramasekara scored a rapid 100 off just 36 balls with 8 fours and 10 sixes to power his team to a huge score. Sumit Pokhriyal also contributed with a 52-ball 79, while Honey Gori scored 32 off 21 balls.

Chasing down 279 was a near-impossible task for Turkey anyway, but the discipline that the Czech Republic bowlers showed, it was exemplary.

Despite having a lot of runs to play with, they didn’t offer any freebies and the Turkey batsmen had to play low percentage strokes which led to their dismissals. Sameera Waththage was the pick of the bowlers for Czech Republic as he got 3 wickets for just 4 runs.
