In this quiz, you have to name the players from Full Member nations who have taken a five-wicket haul in T20I cricket without bowling their full quota of four overs.
Five-wicket hauls are rare in T20 cricket, often because bowlers only get four overs in which to do it. Here, you have to name those players who have gone one better, and taken five wickets in an innings without even completing their entire spell.
Quite curiously, this was first achieved by two different players in two different matches on the same day, June 13, 2009, and playing in the same country. Further, one of these was for Pakistan, and the other against.
The most recent occurrence of this came on September 13, 2024 when an Australian took 5-22 against England whilst also opening the batting in the same match.
To make the list smaller and your task easier, you have to name only the players from current ICC Full Member nations to have achieved this so far. Their figures and the match in which they did it are also provided.
There are 24 names in all, and you have five minutes' time. Good luck!
