Explanation

Yuvraj Singh famously hit Stuart Broad for 6 consecutive sixes in the final over, conceding 36 runs from that over alone. Since Broad's overall figures were 0/60 from 4 overs, the first three overs conceded only 24 runs combined - meaning his first over was highly economical at just 4 runs.
