New Zealand fast bowler Jacob Duffy was in devastating form against India in the fourth T20I at Eden Park, Auckland, accomplishing a massive milestone after sending down a magnificent spell. He recorded the best bowling figures by a Kiwi pacer against India in the shortest format.
Defending a massive target of 260, Duffy made things really difficult for New Zealand, finishing with figures of 4/23 from his four overs. His performance helped him surpass former pacer Trent Boult in the record books. Boult had recorded 4/34 against India in Rajkot in 2017. Meanwhile, Duffy made a dream start to his spell, taking out Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan in his opening over.
His early breakthroughs helped New Zealand disrupt India's chase. India were only able to gather 172/9 in the fourth game, crashing to an 87-run defeat. Duffy, on the other hand, has been a very dependable performer for New Zealand in T20Is. In 51 matches, he has taken 67 wickets at an average of 20.35.
