Will Young 7 Runs An Over: Opener Will Young scored 7 runs in the 26th over of New Zealand’s innings off a ball from Ibadat Hossain.
In cricket, you would often see 6 runs being scored on a ball, but in this match. The batsman scored a total of 7 runs on a single ball. This incident was seen in the second and last Test match of the ongoing series between New Zealand and Bangladesh .
In this Test match being played at the Hagley Oval ground in Christchurch, visiting Bangladesh won the toss and invited the host Kiwi team to bat first. Bangladesh bowler Ebadat Hossain came to put 26th over of New Zealand’s innings. Opener Will Young was on strike.
The last ball of this over of prayer took the edge of Young’s bat and went to second slip, where his catch was dropped and the ball went towards the boundary. By then Young ran for 3 runs. Although Nurul Hasan threw at the bowler’s end from the boundary but Ibadat could not catch it and the ball went straight outside the boundary for 4 runs. In such a situation, Will Young got 7 runs along with the lifeline. He was playing 26 runs when Young’s catch was drop.
