He is the first player to achieve this feat in his forties.The Warriors captain displayed exceptional bowling skills when defending their team&#8217;s total of 211 runs. Tahir&#8217;s impact began immediately after the powerplay when he dismissed <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/shakib-al-hasan\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shakib Al Hasan<\/a> through stumping.The former South African leg-spinner continued his impressive performance by dismissing opposing captain Imad Wasim for a duck and then removing Shamar Springer lbw in consecutive overs. He completed his five-wicket haul by bowling out the ninth and tenth batters.<\/p>\n<p>Poll<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Imran Tahir&#8217;s age affects his performance on the field?<\/p>\n<p>Having played 435 T20 matches since 2006, Tahir has accumulated 554 wickets, placing him fourth in the all-time wicket-takers list. He needs just one more wicket to reach 550 wickets in his career.This five-wicket haul marks Tahir&#8217;s fifth in T20 cricket, putting him alongside prominent bowlers like Lasith Malinga, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shaheen Afridi, and Shakib Al Hasan. David Wiese leads this category with seven five-wicket hauls.His recent figures of 5\/21 against the Falcons in North Sound join his impressive list of five-wicket performances, which includes successful spells against Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Fire, and Khulna teams across various venues and years.The Warriors&#8217; victory was built on their substantial total of 211 runs, which proved too challenging for the Falcons to chase, resulting in the commanding 84-run win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Imran Tahir set multiple T20 records while steering Guyana Amazon Warriors to a dominant 84-run victory against the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367140,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[128528,128530,6675,1406,83023,128524,128526,128529,128531,79,128525,128527,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-367139","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-antigua-and-barbuda-falcons","9":"tag-bowling-performance","10":"tag-chennai-super-kings","11":"tag-cricket","12":"tag-five-wicket-haul","13":"tag-guyana-amazon-warriors","14":"tag-imran-tahir","15":"tag-oldest-captain-in-t20","16":"tag-shakib-al-hasan","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-t20-records","19":"tag-t20-wicket-takers","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115077918577838262","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367139\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
