Nawaz’s 5 for 18 is the second-best bowling figure by a bowler against Australia in T20Is.

Chameera’s 5 for 24 is the best bowling analysis by a Sri Lankan and the joint-third best by any bowler against England in T20Is.

Ireland’s Matthew Humphreys claimed his second career four-wicket haul, picking up 4 for 16 against Italy in Dubai.
