Mongolia Records Lowest Total in T20I History as Singapore Wins by 9 Wickets

In a historic and unprecedented display of bowling dominance, Singapore bowled out Mongolia for just 10 runs, marking the lowest-ever total in T20 International (T20I) history. The match, held during the 14th fixture of the tournament, ended in a swift victory for Singapore, who chased down the total in just 0.5 overs.

Mongolia’s batting collapse was complete as they were skittled out for a mere 10 runs in 10 overs. None of their batters managed to reach even 5 runs, with wicketkeeper Gandemberel Ganbold top-scoring with just 2 runs off 4 balls.

The Mongolian lineup fell prey to a stunning bowling performance from Singapore’s Harsha Bharadwaj, who took an incredible 5 wickets, leaving Mongolia in disarray.

The fall of wickets was rapid, with Mongolia losing their first batter, Mohan Vivekanandan, on the very first ball of the match. The wickets kept tumbling, with no batter able to build a partnership, as the team crawled to 10 runs, their innings ending in just 9.6 overs. Mongolia’s 10-run total broke the previous record for the lowest score in T20I cricket.

Singapore, chasing the meager target of 11 runs, lost their captain Manpreet Singh for a duck on the second ball of the innings, caught by Temuulen Amarmend off Enkhbat Batkhuyag’s bowling. However, William Simpson (6*) and Raoul Sharma (7*) quickly sealed the win, reaching 13-1 in just 0.5 overs, with both players striking boundaries.

This crushing defeat will undoubtedly serve as a learning experience for Mongolia, as they navigate the challenges of international cricket. Singapore, meanwhile, will be buoyed by their strong performance, especially their bowlers, as they add another win to their tournament campaign.
