No bowler was spared during the batting extravaganza. It was so glaring in the 10th over when leg-spinner Rishad Hossain came to bowl and Samson creamed him for five consecutive sixes.

This was also the second highest total in the history of T20Is, going past Afghanistan's 278/3 against Ireland in Dehradun in 2019.
