Suryakumar Yadav smashed 111* off 51 balls. All other 21 players hit a combined 187 off 182 balls.
That stat alone is reflective of the wonderful 2022 ‘SKY’ has had. In another show of wonderful strokeplay, Suryakumar made it impossible for the Black Caps’ bowlers to keep him quiet, striking 11 fours and seven sixes in his 51-ball stay.
The weather forecast in Mount Maunganui didn’t look too promising, but the rain held off to allow us to witness more Yadav magic. This superb T20 player has now smashed 1,151 runs this year at a scarcely believable strike rate of 188.37, with 11 50+ scores in 30 innings.
Kane Williamson summed it up perfectly. In the post-match presentation, the New Zealand captain said Suryakumar’s 111* was one of the best knocks he has ever seen, and credit should go to him despite his team’s disappointing show.
“That was one of the best knocks I have ever seen, he said. “Some of those shots I have never seen. That was next level. They were outstanding and we weren’t up to the task.”
Suryakumar himself said intent is key. Throught his 111*, Yadav focused on batting till the end to try take advantage of the death overs.
“The plan was clear when we came to bat,” said Yadav. “The plan was for me to bat till the end to reach par score of 170. Secret I feel for such kind of format you have to have good intent irrespective of situation. Great feeling coming here and having a full game irrespective of the conditions.”
