No bowler in the T20 World Cup was able to achieve this feat, with the previous best held by Tim Southee, who recently claimed 3/4 against Uganda. In all, Canada's Saad Bin Zafar returned similar figures, although it was against Panama in 2021.

Riding on Ferguson's stupendous figures, New Zealand, who have already been eliminated from the competition, are all over Papua New Guinea in Trinidad. The Kane Williamson-led side bundled out PNG for 78 in 19.4 overs, with all bowlers taking at least a wicket.

Ferguson has not gone wicketless for once in this World Cup. However, the Kiwi batters put up a miserable performance altogether, leaving fans disappointed with an shocking early exit.
