The New Zealand fast bowler returned outstanding figures of <strong>5\/24<\/strong> for Edinburgh Castle Rockers against Glasgow Cosmic in the inaugural European T20 Premier League (ETPL) 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a bowler of Boult\u2019s quality and experience, it is quite surprising that he had never taken five wickets in a T20 innings before this match.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has been one of the best new-ball bowlers in world cricket for years, but the five-wicket mark had somehow remained out of his reach in the shortest format.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"article-ad article-ad--first\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\"><span class=\"article-ad__label\">Advertisement<\/span><\/aside>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That wait has now ended in the first edition of the ETPL.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trent Boult First T20 Five-Wicket Haul Comes in ETPL 2026<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boult has built his reputation around his ability to swing the new ball and pick up wickets in the powerplay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether playing international cricket for New Zealand or franchise cricket around the world, facing Boult with a new ball has never been easy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, a T20 five-for was missing from his long list of achievements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boult\u2019s senior T20 career dates back to 2009, making this five-wicket haul particularly special. Around 17 years after starting his T20 journey, the left-arm pacer finally has his first five-for in the format.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And he did it in style.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Against Glasgow Cosmic, Boult completed his four overs with outstanding figures of five wickets for just 24 runs.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trent Boult\u2019s Bowling Figures vs Glasgow Cosmic<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Statistic<\/th>\n<th>Performance<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Overs<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Runs Conceded<\/td>\n<td>24<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wickets<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Economy Rate<\/td>\n<td>6.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bowling Figures<\/td>\n<td>5\/24<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>T20 Five-Wicket Hauls<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Best T20 Bowling<\/td>\n<td>5\/24<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boult Removes Jason Roy and Richie Berrington<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boult did not just pick up five wickets;
