Mongolia Out for 10 Runs, Ties Record for Lowest Total in Men’s T20Is

In a stunning T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier A match in Bangi, Mongolia collapsed for just 10 runs, tying the record for the lowest total in men’s T20 Internationals. The Isle of Man set the previous record with 10 runs against Spain last year. Singapore’s Harsha Bharadwaj played a pivotal role, taking 6 wickets for just 3 runs in four overs. Bharadwaj’s performance, which included two wickets in the opening over and five wickets in the powerplay, is the second-best bowling figures in men’s T20Is.

Mongolia’s batting collapse saw five of their players score ducks, and they now hold three of the four lowest totals in men’s T20Is, all recorded in 2024. They managed to bat for ten overs, with three maidens played out. Their longest partnerships were for the fourth and last wickets, each lasting 11 balls.

In response to the 11-run target, Singapore chased the total in just five balls, losing a wicket on the first ball. Raoul Sharma hit a six on his first ball, and William Simpson completed the chase with a four off the penultimate ball of the over. This win marked Singapore’s second victory in the competition, while Mongolia remains winless and sits at the bottom of the table after four matches.
