Many times in T20 cricket, teams have been seen scoring more than 200 runs. Some teams have scored more than 250 runs. At the same time, sometimes it has proved difficult for some teams to score 50 runs and even between 30 to 40 runs, the teams pile up. But what can be the lowest score in a T20 match? If in answer to this question this figure of 30-40 runs comes to mind, then a team is ready to surprise everyone because in 20 overs match, this team scored only 8 runs even after batting for 8 overs. And all the batsmen got out. This sight was seen in a qualifier match of the Under-19 World Cup, which has been shocking for everyone.

It was a match that hardly lasted even an hour. This can be considered as the shortest international match. The sights seen in this match were enough to surprise anyone. Nepal’s team batted first, but the entire team could score only 8 runs. For the run that any batsman can score in just two balls, this team played 49 balls and threw all 10 batsmen. The biggest score for the team was 3 runs, while the account of 6 batsmen could not even be opened. For UAE, Mahika Gaur gave only 2 runs in 4 overs and took 5 wickets.
Game over in 7 balls, no boundary hit
Obviously such a small score is only a rare case and the opposing team did not have to take much time to achieve it and it happened.
