Samoa cricket team batsman Darius Visser set a new record by scoring 39 runs in an over during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup East Asia Pacific Qualifier match on Tuesday.
In the match played at the Garden Oval in Samoa, Darius Visser hit 6 sixes off Vanuatu’s Nalin Napiko, including 3 no-balls, for 39 runs in an over.
