ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Qualifiers: One of the bizarre moments emerged in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 qualifiers. In a match between Singapore and Mongolia, records were shattered.
Mongolia was bowled out for just 10 runs in 10 overs and in reply, Singapore chased down the target within 5 balls and won by 9 wickets.
Opting to bowl first, Singapore bowlers immediately took control and rattled Mongolia for only 10 runs.
Singapore’s Harsha Bhardwaj achieved remarkable bowling figures of 6 wickets for giving just 3 runs in 4 overs. Harsha was supported by fellow bowlers Akshay Puri (2/4), Rahul Sheshadri (1/2), and Ramesh Kalimuthu (1/1).
In the second innings, Singapore lost its first wicket of the very first ball, but other batters led the chase and won the game for them comprehensively.

There were several records which were set during the match:

- Singapore became the second team to successfully chase down the target inside one-over in T20I history. The previous team was Spain, who played against Isle of Man.
- Singapore’s Harsha Bhardwaj’s figures of 6/3 in four overs are the second-best by any bowler in T20I history.
