Chris Pringle
Chris Pringle defended 2 runs against Australia in 1990

Before Maxwell accomplished the feat, 22-year-old Chris Pringle managed to defend two runs in a Benson & Hedges Cup match in 1990. Pretty nuch like Maxwell, Pringle bowled a wicket maiden as the final over to clinch the match for Blackcaps. He bowled 5 dots in a row to the 6’8’’ tall Bruce Reid varying his pace and pitching it full. On the final ball he dismissed Reid bowling out Australia boosting New Zealand’s chances of booking their spot in the finals of the tournament. Pringle ended up as the highest wicket-taker of the tournament.

Glenn Maxwell and Chris Pringle are the only 2 bowlers to defend 2 runs in the last over of an ODI.
