Netherlands seamer Bas de Leede completed figures of two for 115 in 10 overs during Wednesday’s Cricket World Cup fixture against Australia in Delhi, India.
These are the most expensive figures for a 10-over allotment in the history of ODI cricket.
Australians Mick Lewis and Adam Zampa co-held the previous record. Zampa conceded 113 runs in 10 overs against South Africa in Centurion last month. Lewis conceded 113 runs in 10 overs against South Africa in Johannesburg in 2006.
De Leede’s spell was amid centuries from opener David Warner and all-rounder Glenn Maxwell in Australia’s final total of 399 for eight.
Maxwell’s century, from 40 deliveries, is the fastest in Cricket World Cup history. The previous record was held by Proteas batsman Aiden Markram, who hit a 49-ball century against Sri Lanka in Delhi earlier this month.
“This feels pretty good. It cleared my head a little bit to be able to just go out there and play,” said Maxwell.
“When I’m switch-hitting, I just have to get my hands through it faster. It came off cleanly today, so I’m happy with that.
“The Netherlands put in some good stops in the field. They stopped a few shots that seemed almost certain boundaries.
“Credit to David Warner, Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, who batted really well as well. They made it a lot easier for me to come out and play the way I did.”
