But Irfan ended up on the losing side anyway, as after he had bowled his maximum four overs, the Patriots chased down their target of 148 with seven balls to spare to win by six wickets. He finished with figures of 4-3-1-2 with economy rate of 0.25. Look at what he tweeted about his performance.
Truly honored & humbled to make the world record for the most economical four over bowling figures in the history of T20 cricket: 4-3-1-2. Thanks @CPL & @BIMTridents. Also I can’t say it enough but Caribbean people are pure love. ??? #SayaCorporation @TalhaAisham pic.twitter.com/ot0zdEKMKC
