In the Super Smash clash, playing for Northern Brave against Canterbury Kings, New Zealand pacer Trent Boult di🔯d what many specialist batters fail to do under pressure.
With six needed to wi꧟n off the last ball, Boult cleared the fence to guide his team to a sensational victory.
Boult sounded ecstatic after his glorious hitting and said that it was a pleasure to proꦛvide such sort of entertainment to the spectators.
“I said I didn’t want to bat, but obviously a great game. Came down to the wire and great to see the crowd turning tonight, and I’m glad we crossed the line. I am not going to give you any coaching or lessons of sort. It was a simple equation so I am happy it came off. We hung in there and got the job done,” said Boult after the match.
"Can you imagine..?"
