The Hundred Mens Competition 2023: Sunil Narine bowls the best spell of the tournament
The Hundred Mens Competition tournament is something that is totally new for the Cricketers, and even for the fans. However, when everybody was thinking that the players are going to take a lot of time to adapt, especially the bowlers. Then Sunil Narine has shown that for him it is going to be very easy to adapt to this version of the game. He not only contributed with the bowl but even with the bat.

Contribution of Sunil Narine to the Victory
Sunil Narine didn’t take the most number of wickets, but still, his contribution was considered the most important one for the team. He was even selected as the player of the series.
Bowling contribution
In this format of the game, bowlers get a chance to bowl a maximum of 20 deliveries. There is no doubt batters are going to smash them in those 20 balls. But Narine’s bowling was hardly readable for any bowler.
- Balls bowler – 20
- Dot balls – 9
- Runs given – 14
- Wickets – 2
- RPB – 0.70
- NB – 0
- WD – 0
These are certainly brilliant statistics for any bowler in the 100-ball format. He was able to consistently put pressure on the batters, by bowling dot balls. Almost every second ball of Sunil Narine was a dot ball. In his bowling spell, he didn’t bowl even a single wide ball or a no-ball.
Contribution through batting
When the team was in trouble, 19 runs were needed on 9 balls. Narine came out to bat, and he scored a quick 13 runs only on 5 balls. In this inning, he got a six and a four. Through this contribution he made Oval Invincibles win the match.
Undoubtedly he deserved to win the ‘Player of the Match’ award. That is the reason he got it. It is clear that he is going to be a strong contributor for his team in the future.
