Mehboob Alam- The First and the Only Bowler to take 10 wickets in an One-Day Match

Nepal's Mehboob Alam became the first bowler to take all 10 wickets in a limited overs match. Alam did it in 2008 against African nation Mozambique as a part of the 2008 ICC World Cricket League Division V competition. Alam finished with figures of 7.5-1-12-10 as Mozambique surrendered with just 19 runs on board chasing 239.

The accomplishment has only happened professionally in two other instances, both in Test cricket: once each by Jim Laker (UK) and Anil Kumble.

Here is the Scorecard:
