5 memorable bowling performances at the ICC T20 World Cup that don't fade away

#3 Umar Gul 3-0-6-5, Pakistan vs New Zealand, 2009, London

Gul was incredible against New Zealand

On a lively pitch, Umar Gul caught New Zealand off-guard to pack them up for a double-digit score. The eventual champions won the match by 6 wickets, set up largely by Gul’s fast and accurate spell.

He accounted for Scott Styris and Peter McGlashan in back-to-back deliveries before knocking off Nathan McCullum, James Franklin and Kyle Mills, the last two again off successive deliveries. Gul, known for his ability to move the ball both ways at pace, ensured New Zealand were all out for 99, which Pakistan chased down in just the 14th over.

Suddenly, there hardly seemed to be any life in the pitch, leave alone any spite. It was Gul's magic that turned a fairly comfortable pitch into a memorably difficult one.
