Dates follow UTC, the same clock as our daily posts.

On this day in 2018, Tamim Iqbal lit up the T20I stage against West Indies, blazing 74 from just 44 balls to headline Bangladesh's batting effort. He was ably supported by Shakib Al Hasan, whose 60 off 38 kept the runs flowing against the same opposition, making it a memorable day for Bangladesh's top order.

The date has also produced fine bowling displays across the years. In the 2023 LPL, Dunith Wellalage of Jaffna Kings tore through Galle Titans with figures of 4 for 10, the standout spell of the day. Nadine de Klerk was equally miserly for South Africa in 2022, claiming 3 for 7 against Sri Lanka.

Elsewhere, Rohit Sharma's 67 and Colin Munro's 66 added further gloss to a date rich in T20 memories.

Coverage & definitionsCricsheet ball-by-ball · matches played on this date (UTC) · data through 24 October 2026Show ▾

Source. Ball-by-ball data from Cricsheet. New matches are loaded from Cricsheet twice a day (10:00 and 22:00 UTC), typically a day or two after a match is published there.

Internationals. T20 internationals are included only when both teams are ICC full members. Fixtures against Associate nations (e.g. Netherlands, Scotland, Nepal, USA) are not in the dataset, so international totals for players who faced them are lower than their full career figures. Afghanistan men's internationals are absent for a different reason: Cricsheet has withheld every match involving the Afghanistan men's team since 14 November 2024, so none of them can be loaded. Every full member's totals are lower by the matches they played against Afghanistan, and Afghanistan men's players do not appear at all. Afghanistan women's matches are unaffected.

Leagues. Leagues: IPL, BBL, PSL, CPL, SA20, MLC, ILT20, BPL, LPL, WBBL, WPL — full history of each. Domestic T20 competitions outside this list (e.g. the Blast, SMAT, Super Smash) are not included.

Exclusions. Super overs are excluded from every total. A match abandoned without a ball bowled has no ball-by-ball file and is not in the dataset, even where a toss took place and official records credit the named players with an appearance. M can therefore sit one or two below a player's official career figure. Match appearances (M) come from the playing XI in each match file, so a match where a player neither batted nor bowled still counts as an appearance. Where M is missing, that player's appearances have not been loaded yet.

"Best" innings and spells are ranked by runs and by wickets then runs conceded; a quiet date here is only quiet within this dataset.
