When it comes to T20 cricket, the final over is what makes it count. A team might play well throughout the 19 overs, but one over of bad cricket can still make them end up🧜 on the losing side, and vice-versa.
The shortest format of the game has given additional weightage to the art of finishing. Over the vast history of T20 cricket,🌸 many have provided impactful performances during the 20th over of the tournament.
Let’s have a look at the three batsmen who have the best strike-rates during the 20th over in T20 cricket:
3. David Miller
The 30-y꧟ear old South African middle-order batsman is a renowned cosmopolitan when✃ it comes to franchise cricket.
The Natal-born cricketer has served Kings XI Punjab for a remarkable tenure, before being released before the auctions last year. Other clubs Miller represents include Hobart ✨Hurricanes, Jamaica Tallawahs, Winnipeg Hawks, and Durban Heat.
Miller strikes the ball 🧸at a phenomenal strike rate of 227.35 during the 20th over, largely coming while set🐼ting scores for the opposition. The T20 giant holds an impressive tally of 495 fours and 300 sixes in all T20 matches.
2. Jean-Paul Duminy
JP Du꧃min෴y (227.64) carries only a marginal strike rate above Miller during the ultimate over of the innings.
The former South A🐓frican limited-overs batting mainstay at the middle order has played for various teams for IPL, including the Delhi Daredevils, Mumbai Indians, and Delhi Daredevils.
Much like Mi♕ller, most of his heroi💛cs in the 20th over have come while batting first and setting targets. Duminy has smashed 463 boundaries and 221 maximums in glittering T20 career.
1. Rohit Sharma
Th♍e Hitman holds the record for t🍨he highest strike rate during the final over in T20 cricket, with his whopping tally of 269.56.
His abilities to finish games of cricket was 🎶displayed recently against New Zealand where he hit the final ball for a gigantic six to seal In♊dia’s win in a Super Over.
Most of these runs have come while donning the jersey of Mumbai Indians. Unlike in the Indian side, Rohit comes at number four position, holding the responsibilit▨y to anchor the innings through death.
Over the yea𒐪rs, Rꦰohit has accumulated a massive 763 fours and 361 sixes in his majestic T20 career.
