Samoa middle-order batter Darius Visser set a new world record for most runs in an over in T20Is. He accumulated 39 against Vanuatu in the T20 World Cup East Asia-Pacific Region Qualifier in the capital city of Apia
Visser hammered pacer Nalin Nipiko for 6 sixes in an over that also included three no balls
The 28-year-old Samoan was playing in only his third T20I and made 132 off 62 balls with five fours and 14 sixes
Previously, there were five occasions when a bowler conceded 36 runs in an over and they were Stuart Broad (2007), Akila Dananjaya (2021), Karim Jannat (2024), Kamran Khan (2024) and Azmatullah Omarzai (2024)
With this knock, Darius Visser became the first-ever Samoan batsman to score a century in the T20I format
