23 Dec
Summary

- This is the first time five wickets have been taken in an over in T20 internationals.
Indonesia's Gede Priandana has made history by becoming the first bowler to secure five wickets in a single over during a T20 International match. The 28-year-old seamer accomplished this extraordinary feat in Bali, contributing to Indonesia's decisive 60-run victory over Cambodia. Priandana's incredible performance concluded with figures of 5-1 from his solitary over, a milestone never before seen in T20 international cricket.
The historic moment occurred in the 16th over of Cambodia's chase, as Priandana dismantled their batting lineup. He took a hat-trick with his first three deliveries and continued his onslaught, dismissing two more batsmen to complete the five-wicket over. This remarkable display of skill and control underscores the discipline and training standards within Indonesian cricket, as noted by the Cricket Indonesia chairman.
This achievement places Priandana in an elite category, with similar feats only previously recorded in domestic T20 cricket. The victory also marks a significant step for Indonesian cricket, signaling its rise in the international arena. The match took place in Bali as part of an eight-match series, with Indonesia currently ranked 64th and Cambodia 46th in the ICC T20 rankings.
