One great spell can turn a T20I match on its head. And New Zealand have had bowlers who have done just that on many occasions. Their bowlers have delivered some memorable spells in T20Is. But which one of them really…
Tim Southee holds the record for the best bowling figures for New Zealand in T20Is after claiming 5 for 18 against Pakistan in Auckland on December 26, 2010. Lockie Ferguson ranks second with 5 for 21 against the West Indies in 2020, followed by James Neesham's 5 for 22 against Pakistan in 2025.
Southee is the only New Zealand bowler with two five-wicket hauls in T20Is, also posting the best figures by a Kiwi captain with 5 for 25 against the UAE. Meanwhile, Mark Gillespie holds New Zealand's top T20 World Cup bowling figures with 4 for 7 against Kenya in 2007.
