Four players who bowled a maiden 20th over in T20Is

#3 Jeetan Patel vs West Indies 2008

Jeetan Patel

West Indies were playing New Zealand in the second T20I at Hamilton in 2008 when Jeetan Patel achieved the rare feat of bowling the final over a maiden one. Batting first, New Zealand scored a huge total of 191-9 in their 20 overs.

West Indies were never really in the chase as they required 37 runs off the last six balls. Jeetan Patel who had bowled only one over up till then was asked to bowl the last one. Dinesh Ramdin tried to launch the first ball into the stand and was dismissed.

Kieron Pollard too got dismissed off the third ball. Sulieman Benn just defended the last three balls and as a result, a maiden last over was bowled by Jeetan Patel.

#2 Janak Prakash vs Qatar 2019

Janak Prakash

Singapore was up against Qatar in the ICC World T20 Qualifier when Prakash bowled a maiden over of the last one while defending a target of 187.

Qatar needed an unlikely 35 runs off the last over when Janak Prakash came into bowl. Prakash bowled a brilliant over as the Qatar batsmen could only score one leg-bye off his over which is not counted in the bowler’s account. So effectively it was a maiden over by Janak Prakash to seal the deal for Singapore.
