34 Off An Over: New Zealand's Jimmy Neesham Goes Berserk Against Sri Lanka - Watch

Jimmy Neesham made a dream return to international cricket by smashing 34 runs in an over for New Zealand in the first One-day international (ODI) against Sri Lanka at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, on Thursday. The Kiwi all-rounder blasted five sixes in Thisara Perera's over en route his 47 not out from 13 balls, which saw the hosts post 371/7, their seventh highest ODI score of all time. The 49th of New Zealand's innings went for 6, 6, 6, 6, 2nb, 6, 1, much to the delight of the crowd. Neesham's insane power-hitting is now third on the list of most expensive overs ever in the ODIs, behind Herschelle Gibbs' six sixes against the Netherlands and Perera's 35 runs against South Africa, and tied with AB de Villiers' efforts against the Windies.
