The T20 World Cup brings out the best bowlers in the world, and there has been some scintillating performances with the ball.
With only 20 overs in an innings, bowlers get a maximum of four overs so every ball is crucial to getting the opposition batsmen out and ensuring a victory.
There have been some very impressive bowling outings over the years, even in the most recent 2021 World Cup, held in the United Arab Emirates, so check out below who has delivered on the biggest stage in the world.
2. Rengana Herath (5/3 off 3.3 overs) Sri Lanka vs New Zealand, 2014
The legendary Sri Lankan spin bowler was at his absolute best against New Zealand, taking more wickets than runs conceded, a feat that has only been done three times in T20 World Cup history.
With five wickets taken and only three runs conceded from 21 deliveries, it's easy to see why he is regarded as one of the greatest spin bowlers of all time when stat lines like this seemed to simply follow him around.
The veteran, who had an exceptional career for Sri Lanka across all three formats, had an exceptional 2014 tournament, taking wickets like they were going out of fashion.
Sri Lanka would go on to win the world cup and Herath was a big part of their success, also coming away with 1 for 23 from four overs in the Mirpur-held final.
