Top 10 Most economical bowling spells in T20Is

7. Mohammad Amir (Pakistan) – 1.50 v UAE:

Mohammad Amir’s figures of 4 overs, 2 wickets for 6 runs against UAE in the Asia Cup T20 2016 made us wonder, what he could have achieved in the world of cricket, if he had not been banned 5 years for his involvement in spot-fixing.

Amir made sure the UAE openers didn’t get a big start in the first 6 overs and kept them on the back foot, thanks to some sublime swing and beautiful seam bowling. He regularly clocked over 140 miles per hour and managed to return with good figures, despite UAE making 129/6, with most of the runs coming from the trio of Shaiman Anwar, Amjad Javed and Mohammad Usman.

Pakistan were pegged back by fall of wickets thanks to Javed again, who got 3 wickets in his first spell, reducing Pakistan to 17/3 in 3 overs. But a resilient partnership between Shoaib Malik and Umar Akmal made sure that Pakistan were saved from an embarrassing loss and added more than 100 runs in the process.
