The Australian all-rounder Sean Abbott is a name who always finds his place in the contemporary discourse around the Australian team but has not been able to dominate that discourse with his consistent performances. However, he has delivered some notable performances in international cricket. Moving further in this article, we will take a look at his top 3 performances in T20Is.
4/31 vs South Africa, 2023
The 32-year-old bowled this match-winning spell last year against South Africa in the third match of the T20I series. Sean Abbott picked up wickets in this match at very crucial junctures as he broke some dangerous partnerships. His first wicket was the South African skipper Aiden Markram who had already scored 41 runs off just 23 balls. Markram’s dismissal brought Australia back into the contest. His other three dismissals were Tristan Stubbs, Bjorn Fortuin, and Gerald Coetzee. South Africa ended up with 190 runs in the first innings but Abbott kept his records economical and picked up four wickets on top of it.
3/22 vs South Africa, 2023
Here is another notable bowling performance from Sean Abbott in the same series against South Africa. This spell was bowled in the second T20I. The bowling all-rounder played a crucial role in restricting the Proteas to a low total in the first innings. Once again, he got the better of big names like Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma to neutralize their danger. These timely breakthroughs from Abbott did not let South Africa post a massive target for the Kangaroos.
2/14 vs Pakistan, 2019
Sean Abbott troubled Pakistan with this bowling effort in 2019. The Australian team was looking to seal the T20I series in the decider and the bowler from New South Wales proved instrumental in that pursuit. He bowled an economical spell as he conceded only 14 runs in his four overs and got a couple of wickets as well. In the initial phase of the first innings, he got rid of opener Imam-ul-Haq and completed his spell later with another key wicket of Imad Wasim. As a result, Pakistan could only post 106 runs on the board which was chased in the second innings by Australia without losing any wicket.
