The 35-year-old claimed a sin­gle wick­et for Sur­rey at Sophia Gar­dens to reach the mag­i­cal mark, as the vis­i­tors beat Glam­or­gan by 65 runs in the T20 Blast.

Nar­ine’s mo­ment ar­rived at the start of his sec­ond over – the ninth of the in­nings – when South African left-han­der Col­in In­gram holed out to Sam Cur­ran at deep mid-wick­et, leav­ing the hosts on 75 for three in pur­suit of 237 for vic­to­ry.

The right-armer even­tu­al­ly fin­ished with one for 34 from four overs as Glam­or­gan fin­ished on 171 for eight from their 20 overs.

Nar­ine’s fel­low Trinida­di­an and for­mer West In­dies team­mate, Dwayne Bra­vo, be­came the first bowler to reach 500 wick­ets in the short­est for­mat and cur­rent­ly has 615.

Afghan leg-spin­ner Rashid Khan has tak­en an amaz­ing 555 to lie sec­ond on the all-time list.

Over­all, Nar­ine has played 460 T20s but has not fea­tured for West In­dies in four years, and his in­ter­na­tion­al ca­reer now ap­pears all but over.

He has tak­en 11 wick­ets in sev­en match­es for Sur­rey so far this sea­son but strug­gled in the In­di­an Pre­mier League last month, fin­ish­ing with on­ly 11 wick­ets from 14 ap­pear­ances.

On Wednes­day, open­er Lau­rie Evans lit up the Welsh cap­i­tal with an un­beat­en 118 off 60 balls as Sur­rey, choos­ing to bat first, post­ed an im­pos­ing 236 for two from their 20 overs.

The 35-year-old clob­bered a dozen fours and half-dozen six­es, putting on 115 for the first wick­et with Will Jacks (46) and a fur­ther 118 for the sec­ond wick­et with Cur­ran who blud­geoned a 29-ball 66, with a four and sev­en six­es.

Evans’s score was a venue record and the high­est-ever against Glam­or­gan.

In re­ply, Glam­or­gan got 76 off 54 balls from Sam North­east, the 33-year-old post­ing 33 for the first wick­et with cap­tain Ki­ran Carl­son (22), 30 for the third wick­et with In­gram (11) and 34 for the sixth wick­et with Prem Sisodiya (11).

How­ev­er, Bar­ba­dos-born Eng­land seam­er Chris Jor­dan (2-26), along with pac­ers Gus Atkin­son (2-24) and Cur­ran (2-36), all claimed two wick­ets each to hurt the run chase.

Sur­rey lie sec­ond in the South Group on 10 points, two be­hind lead­ers Som­er­set. (CMC)
