Afghanistan's teenage spin sensation creates record

New Delhi, Mar 01: Afghanistan's teenage spin sensation Rashid Khan became the first-ever bowler to bag four wickets in four consecutive deliveries in a Twenty20 International (T20I) on Sunday.

Overall, he became just the second bowler in the history of the sport to do so in international cricket after Sri Lankan veteran Lasith Malinga, who achieved the milestone during the 2007 Cricket World Cup against South Africa.

On Sunday, batting first Afghanistan posted a total of 210 in 20 overs. In reply to that, Ireland managed only 178 for 8 in 20 overs, thanks to Rashid's brilliant show with the ball.
