As always, this time too, the ongoing T20 World Cup has been embarrassing for some players and their teams and noteworthy for others. We found some moments from the tournament, which we are sure neither the cricketers nor their teammates would want to remember hereafter. Check out some of the zaniest moments of T20 World Cup.

1. Nawaz's Last over against India

In what can only be described as the biggest nail-biting match between India vs Pakistan ever - a match where India clinched a historical win against their biggest rival Pakistan, Nawaz was given a crucial last over to defend 16 runs. In the fourth ball of the over Nawaz bowled a no-ball which Indian batsman Virat Kohli hit for a grand six and changed the dynamics of the game. We’re quite sure Nawaz will pray that he nevers bowls a No Ball again!

2. Virat Kohli drops catch against South Africa

India looked good in their match against South Africa in the initial phase of the second innings, but the South African Batsman Adem Markram had some other thoughts and played a match-winning knock. India desperately needed his wicket but guess what? He was dropped by Virat Kohli on a Ravichandran Ashwin Ball, and this moment was the game changer. Chances are that Kohli will forever think he ‘could have tried just that wee bit harder.

3. Shaheen Afridi Dramatic batting against Zimbabwe 

Pakistan had to face humiliation in front of the cricketing world when they lost against Zimbabwe which was not expected. In the last over, Pakistan needed three runs on the last ball which Shaheen Shah Afreedi was not able to make. He was not able to complete his second run to get the match in the super over. Afridi is not about to forget this defeat in a rush.

4. Bangladesh’s last over against Zimbabwe

Bangladesh was all set to win the match against Zimbabwe or so they thought. Bangladesh thought that they had won the match as the last ball of Mossadek Hussain over was a No Ball and the whole team walked to the dugout, but had to return to the field to save the match as only four runs were needed in that over. Will Bangladesh collectively get over this mis calculation?

We’re quite sure these are not the last of such moments in the World Cup. There will be more, so make sure you catch up with them.
