Ranking Trent Boult’s top 3 performances in T20I Cricket 

New Zealand pace sensation Trent Boult is set to turn 35. The left-arm pacer has been a huge asset for the Black Caps across all formats. It is his form in T20 Cricket that made him a star performer for the better part of the decade. Boult called time on his T20 Career after New Zealand were knocked out in the first round of the 2024 T20 World Cup. 

Trent Boult played a total of 61 matches for the black caps and picked 83 wickets. His best figures were 4/13 which was one of the two times when he had picked four wickets in this format. His economy rate of 7.68 is counted as one of the top most for a fast bowler in this format of the game. 

The left-arm pacer made his T20I debut in 2013 when he played against England at Auckland. Trent Boult dismissed Jonny Bairstow for 38 and also then skipper Stuart Broad for 4 as England scored 214/7. New Zealand could score only 174 in reply to lose the match by 40 runs.
