T20 WC: Sri Lanka's Shanaka Sets Unwanted Record, Becomes Batter With Most Zeroes In T20Is
Ducks Batter Innings Team: Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka achieved an unwanted record, becoming the batter to score the most zeroes in T20 International when he got out for a duck in their match against Ireland in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday.
Shanaka was out for a first-ball duck when he miscued a swing at a thigh-high full toss on off, but his attempt for a big six skewed for a leading edge which was caught by Mark Adair at short third, taking it perilously close to the ground, despite theball being in the air for a long time, giving him lot of time to get into position. For some time, there were doubts that the ball was aimed too high at the waist and could be a no-ball. But the ball tracker showed it was 16 cm below the waist and thus a legal delivery, and Shanaka had to leave the field.
This was the 16th zero scored by Shanaka, a 34-year-old tailender, in 113 T20I innings, thus breaking the unwanted record held by Zappy Bimenyimana of Rwanda, who has compiled 15 zeroes in 62 matches.
