It’s pretty common these days to see batters dominate in limited-overs cricket. But not all days are the same, aren’t they?
We have seen bowlers making inroads and dismantling batting lineups completely. Such collective performances from a bowling side have lit up the ICC Champions Trophy, resulting in batting teams getting all out for paltry scores.
So here are the top 10 instances of the lowest all-out team totals registered in the Champions Trophy.
