The player who bowled the most wides got the Player of the Match award, this happened in SA20, this is the reason.

The player of the match is often the one who makes a significant contribution to his team's victory with the bat or ball. His performance is different from other players. Something similar happened in the match we are talking about. The match was between Pretoria Capitals and Joburg Super Kings. Pretoria Capitals defeated Joburg Super Kings in this match played on 28 January in SA 20. In Pretoria's victory, its player Miguel Pretorius was chosen as the Player of the Match. But, one thing was special in this player becoming the Player of the Match and that was that he was the bowler who bowled the most wide balls from his team.
Player of the Match for the one who bowls the most wides
Faf du Plessis-led Joburg Super Kings batted first against Pretoria Capitals and scored just 99 runs in 20 overs losing 9 wickets. Pretoria Capitals tried their 6 bowlers to stop Joburg Super Kings under 100 runs. Everyone bowled disciplined. That is, they did not bowl a single wide or no ball. Except Miguel Pretorius, who was later chosen as the Player of the Match after the victory. Miguel Pretorius bowled 1 wide ball during his bowling.
What is the reason behind becoming the hero of the match?
So was he chosen as the hero of the match just because of bowling this one wide ball? Or did he cause havoc with the bat while chasing the target? There is no answer to both these questions. Miguel Pretorius neither got the Player of the Match award for bowling the most wides from his team nor for batting. Rather, he got this award for his amazing performance in bowling and fielding.
Actually, Pretorius did bowl 1 wide but he took 3 wickets of Joburg Super Kings in his 4 over spell, which included the wicket of a dangerous batsman like Jonny Bairstow. Apart from this, Pretorius also caught the catches of two batsmen of Joburg Super Kings. Due to these achievements, Miguel Pretorius became the Player of the Match by bowling the most wides from his team.
Pretoria Capitals won the match
Pretoria Capitals won the SA20 match by 6 wickets. They achieved the target of 100 runs set by Joburg Super Kings in 12 overs by losing 4 wickets. This was Pretoria Capitals' second win in 8 matches.
