Live Hindi News :- The 24th league match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 was held in Antigua on 12 June. Australia and Namibia clashed in this. Australia won the toss and declared to bowl first. As expected, Namibia batted strongly against Australia's bowling.
Captain Gerhard Erasmus scored the highest 36 (43) runs for the team, while Adam Zamba took 4, Josh Hazlewood took 2 and Marcus Stoinis took 2 wickets for Australia. After this, David Warner scored 20 (8) for Australia chasing 73 runs and David Wiese was out early.
Worst world record: However, on the other hand, Travis Head, who remained unbeaten till the end, scored 34* (17) runs and captain Mitchell Marsh scored 18* (9). Australia scored 74/1 in 5.4 overs and easily won by 9 wickets. Thus, Australia has qualified for the Super 8 round with 3 wins in 3 matches played so far.
And by winning in just 5.4 overs, Australia set the record for the second-largest win by bowling the most number of balls in a T20 World Cup. Sri Lanka topped the list with a 90-ball win against the Netherlands in the 2014 T20 World Cup. Australia also won by 9 wickets and registered their biggest win in terms of wickets in T20 cricket.
On the other hand, Namibia, which was weak in batting, had to face a crushing defeat. Especially when the top 3 batsmen of the team were out after scoring a few runs, captain Gerhart Erasmus, who came at number four, was forced to play the role of anchor. But for this, he batted very irregularly and could not score even 1 run in the first 16 balls.
While batting like this, he scored his first run on the 17th ball. With this, he made the worst world record of taking the most balls to score the first run in T20 International cricket. The previous record was in the name of UAE player Tanmay Mishra, when he scored the first run in 16 balls against Pakistan in 2007. It is worth noting that in this match, he made a poor record to give a tough competition to Indian legend Rahul Dravid.
