Chasing 220 to win against Northern Districts, the Knights w🌠ere still some distance away from a win despite putting themselves in a goꦇod position till that point.
They required 64 runs from the last five overs, an asking rate of nearly 13 runs an over. How♕ever, Carter ensured they reach th👍e target with seven balls to spare.
Carter remained unbeaten at 70 off 29 balls, striking at a fearsome rate of 241.🎀37.
Carter has now joined Garry Sobers, Ravi Shastri, Herschelle Gibbs, Yuvraj Singh, Ross Whitley and Hazratullah Zazai as players who have hit six sixes in an o🐠ver.
Of these batsmen, only two – Gibbs and Yuvraj – managed to pull off the feat in international cricket. Shastri and Sobers did so in first-class cricket, whereas Whitley and Zazai, much like Carter, achieved this in T20 cricket.
