Stunning Guptill

STUNNING GUPTILL

ICC CRICKET WORLD CUP
(QUATER FINAL - 4)

Welcome Back everybody once again on your favourite cricket blogspot!!

Today I will tell you about STUNNING GUPTILL who had played a stunning innings 

against West Indies in quarter final -4 of ICC Cricket World Cup!!



Description :-


Martin Guptill became the first batsman to make ICC Cricket World Cup history with an stunning innings of 237 not out  which led  New Zealand to a 143-run win over the West Indies in Saturday’s one-sided quarterfinal. Guptill’s faced 163 balls, including 11 sixes and 24 fours, was the highest by an individual in a World Cup Quarter Final match , surpassing the 215 that Chris Gayle scored against Zimbabwe on February 24, and the second-highest in all one-day internationals after Rohit Sharma’s 264 for India in November last year against Sri Lanka!!





It was the first double-century by a New Zealand cricketer in ODIs, beating the record high score of 189 he set himself, and made Guptill the first New Zealander to score centuries in consecutive World Cup innings after having made 105 against Bangladesh in the last league match. He also became the man of the match in this quarter final. New Zealand will play South Africa in Auckland on Tuesday in a semifinal.
