10 all out in 10 overs, target chased in 5 balls: Several records broken in Singapore vs Mongolia ICC T20 World Cup 2026 qualifier

In a historic ICC T20 World Cup 2026 qualifier, Singapore bowled out Mongolia for a mere 10 runs and chased down the target in just five balls, securing a decisive nine-wicket victory at the YSD-UKM Cricket Oval in Malaysia. This match saw several records shattered.

After winning the toss, Singapore elected to field first. Their bowlers took immediate control, restricting Mongolia to just 10 runs in 10 overs. Five Mongolian batters were dismissed for ducks, with the highest individual score being only 2 runs, made by two batters.

Harsha Bhardwaj led the bowling attack for Singapore with remarkable figures of 6 wickets for 3 runs in 4 overs. He was supported by Akshay Puri, who took 2 wickets for 4 runs, Rahul Sheshadri with 1 wicket for 2 runs, and Ramesh Kalimuthu with 1 wicket for 1 run.


Despite losing a wicket on the very first ball, Singapore chased down the target within one over. No.3 batter Raoul Sharma remained unbeaten at 7 runs, hitting a six, while opener William Simpson also stayed not out, contributing 6 runs with a four.

Mongolia's total of 10 runs tied the record for the lowest total in T20I cricket. This record was previously set by the Isle of Man, who were also bowled out for 10 runs against Spain in Cartagena in 2023.

Harsha Bhardwaj's figures of 6 for 3 in four overs are the second-best by any bowler in T20I history. The top performance remains with Syaruz Idrus of Malaysia, who took 7 wickets for 8 runs against China.

Singapore became only the second team in T20I history to successfully complete a run-chase inside one over. The only other team to achieve this was Spain, who chased down 11 runs against the Isle of Man in just two balls.
