Parvez sets six-hitting record for Bangladesh in UAE clash

The left-hander surpasses Rishad’s previous national best of 7 sixes in an innings

Parvez Hossain Emon has smashed a massive slog-swept six off leg-spinner Mohammad Zuhaib to set a new record for the most sixes in a T20I innings by a Bangladeshi batter.

Against the UAE, the left-hander has launched 9 sixes in a blistering knock, which has also marked his maiden career fifty.

The earlier record belonged to Rishad Hossain, who struck seven sixes during a 30-ball 53 against Sri Lanka last year.

The world record, however, remains far ahead. Estonia’s Sahil Chauhan blasted 18 sixes in a 144-run storm off just 41 balls against Cyprus last year.
