AUCKLAND — New Zealand batter Bevon Jacobs produced a remarkable innings in the Ford Trophy, scoring an unbeaten 202 runs from 137 balls for Auckland Aces against Otago. His innings included seven fours and 21 sixes.
The 24-year-old reached his century from 97 balls before increasing the scoring rate. His 21 sixes are the second-highest by a batter in a List A innings. The record remains with Australia’s D’Arcy Short, who hit 23 sixes in an innings in 2018.
Jacobs helped Auckland reach 334 for eight in their 50 overs. However, the big total was not enough to secure victory. Otago chased down the target with five balls remaining, winning the match despite Jacobs’ outstanding double century.
