Manan Bashir 6 Sixes vs Gibraltar

During the 16th over of Bulgaria's innings, with Isa Zaroo well set at the crease and Manan Bashir as his partner, Gibraltar captain Iain Latin introduced Kabir Mirpuri into the attack-a move that backfired spectacularly. Mirpuri endured a nightmare over, conceding six consecutive sixes in what was only his third over, dealing a major blow to Gibraltar's bowling plans.
