Key Insights

New Zealand’s experienced pacer Tim Southee kicked off 2024 by scalping his 150th career wicket in T20Is. His epic bowling performance of 4/25 against Pakistan pushed his wicket tally above 150.

With that, Southee became the first bowler to grab 150 wickets in this format. Moreover, he is the leading wicket-taker in T20Is.

Apart from Southee, Adam Milne and Naveen-ul-Haq have bagged four-wicket hauls in the first month of this year.

It seems Southee is having a brilliant year with the ball, as he went past Lasith Malinga’s record of taking 57 wickets in death overs. The Kiwi pacer now has over 60 wickets in the death overs in the 20-over format.
