Cricket: Six-star Suppiah sets T20 record
Suppiah claimed the best Twenty20 figures of six wickets for five runs against Glamorgan.
LONDON:
Somerset spinner Arul Suppiah claimed the best Twenty20 figures of six wickets for five runs in a five-wicket Twenty20 victory away to Glamorgan in Cardiff. Suppiah’s figures, which bettered Sohail Tanvir’s six for 14 for Rajasthan against Chennai in Jaipur in May 2008, came from 3.4 overs as all Glamorgan wickets fell to the Somerset spinners. Glamorgan, put into bat, had no answer to Suppiah, Murali Kartik and Max Waller, as they were dismissed for just 98, their second worst total in the tournament, in just 17.4 overs of an 18-overs-per-side contest which was reduced because of rain.
