Top 5 Teams with most extras conceded in a T20I innings: Twenty20 the newest form of cricket has changed a lot of things 0with its induction, from the way batsmen, batted to the way bowlers approached the challenge and how disciplined the bowlers have become, no doubt a bowler never wants to concede an extra run and bowl an additional delivery but with the influx of T20 cricket giving away extra runs is almost a crime. Still there have been instances where teams have committed it and, Here we look at the Top 5 Teams with most extras conceded in a T20I innings: 5. Australia – 24: (© Hamish Blair/Getty Images) Australian bowlers are renowned for their sternest steadfastness and discipline. Yet, they conceded 24 extras against India in Mumbai on 20th of October 2007. Murali Karthik made his T20I debut in this match. There were 12 leg byes, 9 wides, and 3 no balls donated by the Australian bowlers. India won the match with 11 balls in hand. 4. Zimbabwe – 25: (Photo Source: Associated Press) India scored 178 runs with a helpful contribution from Zimbabwean bowlers who gave away 25 extras. Mpofu and Madziva bowled three wides each (The highest by a bowler in a T20I match after 2010) while other bowlers also made worthwhile assistances. India won the match comfortably, but the crowd at Harare Sports Club were disappointed with the careless bowling of Zimbabweans. There were 8 byes, 3 leg byes, a no ball, and 13 wides, much caused due to lacklustre discipline in their bowling. 3. Bangladesh – 26: (© Ishara S.KODIKARA/AFP/Getty Images) Bangladesh granted 26 extras to Sri Lanka at Pallekele Cricket Stadium in 2013, helping Sri Lanka score 198 runs in the first innings. All the five used-bowlers of Bangladesh conceded, at least, an extra. The pursuit of Bangladesh ended 18 runs short of the target. 19 wides (The highest in a T20I innings) and 7 leg byes are not the stats any team would be proud to claim. 2. West Indies – 28: (© Gallo Images/Getty Images) It was only the 20th International T20 and South Africa was chasing a gigantic target of 206 runs. However, West Indies bowlers made the task of the SA batsmen easy by contributing 28 runs into South African score-sheet. The Proteas won the match eventually, by seven wickets with 14 balls remaining. The result may have been different if only the Windies bowlers had showed more self-restraint. 1. South Africa – 29: (Photo Source: Getty Images) South African bowlers had a dejected time against West Indies in 2008, conceding 29 extras at New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. The fact that it contributed more runs to WI scoreboard than any WI batsman- the highest being DJ Bravo with 24 runs- attached further infamy onto the bowlers. Conversely, South Africa won the match by three wickets. There was an unbelievable tally of 15 byes, 9 leg byes, and 5 wides. (All Stats Updated Till 14th December, 2015) Written by Gaurav Sudev
