HAPPY MOMENT

The crowds gathered at Old Trafford were treated to a magnificent batting display from England skipper Eoin Morgan during their World Cup match against Afghanistan yesterday. Morgan made it rain sixes as the left-hander and broke the world record for most sixes hit in an ODI innings in the process. It was during the 47th over, being bowled by Gulbadin Naib, when Morgan struck consecutive sixes off the first two balls to equal the previous record, which belonged to Rohit Sharma with 16 sixes. Perhaps the England captain even intended to score a hundred runs on the day by solely hitting sixes as he launched a flat maximum over the bowlers head to smash his 17th six of the innings and register a new world record in style. Courtesy of Morgan’s blistering ton, England posted 397 for six in 50 overs, the highest total so far in the ongoing World Cup.
