Mongolia’s team was all out for just 10 runs in T20I, created this shameful world record, the match ended in 5 balls

In T20 International cricket, a team was all out for just 10 runs. Mongolian Cricket. (Source – Twitter/X) These days, the craze in the cricket world is about the T20 format. In this format, many records are broken and many records are made every day. One such record was made today. Actually, today the Mongolian team made such a record, which probably no team would want to make. Actually, today Mongolia has made the lowest score in T20I history. In the match against Singapore, Mongolia’s team was all out for just 10 runs. Singapore scored 13 runs and won the match by 9 wickets. The 120-ball match ended in just 5 balls. In these five balls, the team won and also lost a wicket. 10 runs in T20 International cricket is now the joint lowest score in men’s T20 International cricket. Earlier last year, the Isle of Man team had scored the same number of runs against Spain. The performance of Mongolia’s batsmen was very poor In the T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier A match in Bangi, Mongolia’s team batting first was all out for 10 runs in 10 overs. No team has scored runs at this slow run rate in Men’s T20 International cricket, which is a shameful world record in itself. The Isle of Man scored 10 runs at a run rate of 1.15 against Spain last year and now Mongolia scored runs at just 1 run per over. Talking about the match, Singapore lost a wicket on the first ball in reply to 11 runs, but finished the match in the next four balls. Mongolia’s team lost all four of its matches in this tournament and the team’s score in every match has been very low. Harsha Bhardwaj took 6 wickets for 3 runs in four overs for Singapore. This is the second best performance by any bowler in T20 International cricket. This 17-year-old leg spinner took two wickets in the first over and completed his five wickets in the powerplay itself. Five batsmen of Mongolia were out on zero. Mongolia did not score any runs in 3 out of 10 overs.

But there is no better feeling than winning a Test match. So the more it can impact games and the more you can contribute to the team, the better it is. So that will be the main focus.
