New Delhi: With the advent of T20 cricket, the fans now get to see some scintillating batting performances. There are situations in a match not just only in T20, but ODI too when you don't


12) With 17 needed of the last four balls, what do you expect from the batsman to do? Yes it was 6,4,6,6 that's what Kiwi batsman Nathan McCullum did against the spin of Sri Lanka's Rangana Herath in November 2013 during their Sri Lankan tour. In a rain affected match where Lankans made 138 in 23 overs but due to D/L method the revised target for Kiwis was set as 198 in 23 overs, McCullum's blitz helped New Zealand to win the match by 6 wickets.

13) In the ongoing Champions League T20, Perth Scorchers needed 12 runs off the last two balls to seal the victory against Dolphins. It looked like an impossible task or can only be happen in movies. But Mitchell Marsh struck two big sixes and snatched the victory from the South African champion Dolphins.

Ther final six sparked off wild celebrations as it turned out to be a disappointing end for the unfancied Dolphins, who were favourites till final two deliveries of the match.

Predictably, Marsh was awarded man-of-the-match award for his 40 off 26 balls with three fours and two sixes.
