Sohail Tanvir returns incredible bowling figures in CPL

Pakistan bowler Sohail Tanvir has turned in one of the most remarkable spells of bowling in T20 history, during his side’s massive victory in the Caribbean Premier League.

Playing for the Guyana Amazon Warriors, Tanvir ripped through Barbados Tridents, claiming the incredible figures of 5-3 from his four overs.

Tanvir’s victims were high quality as well, with his scalps including Kane Williamson, Eoin Morgan and Tridents captain Keiron Pollard.

“We knew how important the game was, and that's what we discussed,” Sohail said.

“What we discussed was that we needed to put our hands up.

“Every wicket was important for me today, you name it, every wicket was of a match-winner's.

“When we came on this pitch yesterday, there was a bit of grass and moisture so I told my team-mates we can put balls in the right areas, and we were bound to get assistance. I just did the basics right, and got the reward.”

Tanvir’s 5-3 is the most economical five wicket haul in T20 history, a record he now shares with Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan and Sri Lankan spinner Rangana Herath.

His incredible bowling helped the Warriors to a 99-run win, as they dismissed Barbados for just 59.
