Tymal Mills' 3 best bowling performances for England

England's left-arm fast bowler Tymal Mills turned 31 yesterday (August 12). Mills is one of the most popular overseas pacers in India. Many fans would remember him for his perfomance in the India vs England T20I series which took place in early 2017.

Injuries have troubled him a lot in his career. The left-arm pacer was a part of the Mumbai Indians squad in IPL 2022, but he had to return home early due to an injury. Mills did not play in the IPL season which took place earlier this year.

Tymal Mills' IPL journey has not been the best, but he has enjoyed a lot of success while playing for England in the T20I format. He was a part of the England squad that lifted the T20 World Cup in Australia last year.

As far as his numbers in the shortest format of the game are concerned, Mills has bagged 12 wickets in 13 T20I matches for England. His bowling average has been 31.16, and he has maintained an economy rate of 8.37 runs per over. In this listicle, we will look back at his top three bowling performances for England.
