World ( The cow news digital ) Nepal opener Kusal Bhurtel produced a sensational batting display by smashing six consecutive sixes in a single over during a T20 International match against China, helping his side achieve multiple records in a dominant victory.
The explosive performance came during the Asian Games Qualifier in Singapore, where Nepal posted a massive total of 313 runs for the loss of just two wickets in their allotted 20 overs. The innings featured a remarkable 29 sixes and cemented Nepal’s reputation as one of the most aggressive batting sides in associate cricket.
Bhurtel was the star of the show, scoring a blistering 129 runs from only 43 deliveries. His innings included 16 sixes and several boundaries, leaving the Chinese bowling attack with little answer to his relentless assault.
The defining moment of the match arrived in the ninth over when Bhurtel took apart Chinese spinner Chen Zhuo Yue. The Nepal opener cleared the boundary on all six deliveries of the over, becoming only the sixth batter in T20 International history to achieve the rare feat of hitting six sixes in a single over. The over yielded 37 runs, including an extra, and shifted the momentum entirely in Nepal’s favor.
With the achievement, Bhurtel joined an elite list of players that includes Yuvraj Singh, Kieron Pollard, Dipendra Singh Airee, Darius Visser, and Manan Bashir, all of whom have previously accomplished the milestone in T20 International cricket.
Nepal’s total of 313 runs marked another historic achievement for the national side. The team became the first in T20 International history to score more than 300 runs on two separate occasions. The score also ranks among the highest totals ever recorded in the format.
In response, China struggled against Nepal’s bowling attack and was dismissed for just 92 runs. The result handed Nepal a commanding 221-run victory, underlining the gulf between the two teams and highlighting the growing strength of Nepalese cricket on the international stage.
