ODI statistics for 2021-Part 2

Hope you have read Part 1

We now look at Bowling

Most wickets (10 or more):

The most (20) is by PVD Chameera (20) followed by Simi Singh with 19-two relatively lesser-known players. The best for India is 9 by B Kumar.

Best innings bowling (including all 5wi):

The best innings bowling is 6-11 by S Lamichane followed by 5-10 by Simi Singh.

No one has taken more than one 5wi. Nepal’s S Lamichane has 3 of 4wi.

The best for India is 4-54 by MP Krishna.

There is not enough data to meaningfully study bowling averages, economy rates and strike rates.

Now for Fielding:

Most dismissals (9 or more):

The most is 17 by Ireland’s LJ Tucker, followed by RW Chakabva with 13. The most by a non-keeper is 9 by K Bhurtel (Nepal) followed by 8 by Liton Das.

Most dismissals in an innings (4 or more):

The best is by England’s stand-in JA Simpson with 5. We also see that no non-keeper has taken more than 4 catches.

All-round performance in a match (40+ runs and 4+ wickets):

The best performances are by Simi Singh and JJ Smit. Another example of players from lesser-known sides thriving in the absence of players from major teams.
