Brett Lee’s top 3 bowling spells in T20I Cricket

Brett Lee left his impact in the T20 cricket as a tearaway fast bowler. He had some notable performances for Australia in the shortest format. Lee represented Australia in 25 T20Is taking 28 wickets.

Let’s take a look at his top 3 bowling spells in T20I cricket:

3/23 vs West Indies, 2012

Brett Lee loved bowling against the West Indies in every format of the game. He achieved his best bowling figures in T20 cricket against West Indies. In the second match of the series West Indies batted first and put up 160 runs on the board. Brett Lee along with Clint McKay and Shane Watson played a huge role in restricting the destructive West Indies batting lineup to this reasonable total. Brett Lee dismissed dangerous Kieron Pollard very early in his innings. He got his other two wickets by wrapping up the lower order. 

3/27 vs Bangladesh, 2007

Brett Lee bowled this impressive spell in the inaugural T20 World Cup in South Africa. In the group stage clash Australia faced Bangladesh and dominated them completely. Australia chose to field first when they won the toss.  The Aussie bowling attack did not allow Bangladesh to bat freely and restricted them to a miserable total of 123. Brett Lee was the pick of the bowlers for Australia by taking 3 wickets. He dismissed Shakib Al Hasan, Mashrafe Mortaza, and Alok Kapali to put Bangladesh in trouble. Australia eventually chased the target comfortably. 

3/39 vs Sri Lanka, 2011

Brett Lee’s third-best bowling figure came against Sri Lanka at Pallekele. Sri Lanka batted first and put a tricky target in front of Australia. Brett Lee was significant in preventing Sri Lanka from reaching a huge total. With the new ball, he dismissed Tillakaratne Dilshan who was a very lethal batsman in the shortest format. Later in the innings he also got the better of Mahela Jayawardene who was batting at the score of 86. In the end, he got Nuwan Kulasekara out to complete his spell.
