The new world record for the lowest score:
Nigeria won the match by a huge margin of 264 runs which is the third-highest margin of victory by runs in Men’s T20 International. But the bigger thing was that Ivory Coast made a new world record for the lowest total in Men’s T20 International.
An amazing thing happened in 81 days:
Earlier the record for the lowest score in Men’s T20 International was 10 runs, which was made by Mongolia’s team by getting all out on 24 September this year. But just 81 days after that, Ivory Coast has now set a new record.
