NEW DELHI: Bhutan's Sonam Yeshey delivered a spell for the ages, rewriting the record books with a stunning world-record bowling performance against Myanmar in a T20I match.

The left-arm orthodox spinner produced a magical display, finishing with extraordinary figures of 8 wickets for just 7 runs in four overs, a feat rarely seen at any level of the game.

Bhutan produced a dominant all-round display to completely outclass Myanmar, bowling them out for a mere 45 in just 9.2 overs during their T20I clash. In pursuit of a 128-run target, Myanmar's chase crumbled rapidly, allowing Bhutan to seal a comprehensive 82-run victory.

Yeshey produced a breathtaking spell of spin bowling to set a new benchmark in T20I history, surpassing all previous records for the best figures in the format. The left-arm orthodox bowler eclipsed the mark held by Malaysia's Syazrul Idrus, who had claimed 7 for 8 against China in 2023.
