#10 Sompal Kami – 40 off 31 balls, for Nepal against Hong Kong at Colombo, November 2014
There have been quite a few twenties by No.10s including the likes of Saeed Ajmal, Sunil Narine and Doug Bracewell but only one batsman has managed to come close to scoring a fifty in the shortest format of the game from No.10. And that honour belongs to Nepal's Sompal Kami.
While his innings was his career-best T20I score and his best score in all forms of senior cricket, the then 18-year-old's efforts were still not enough as he side were soundly beaten by Hong Kong. After coming in at 25/8, it looked as though Nepal were looking on course for the lowest T20I total.
But thanks to Kami's 40, they managed to cross 50 and eventually ended with 72 before being bowled out. The tail-ender's knock was full of boundaries, in fact 90% of his runs came thanks to them, courtesy of his six fours and two sixes. 72 though just wasn't enough, despite a spirited bowling performance as Hong Kong squeezed home by two wickets and with a ball to spare.
