NZ v Sri Lanka: Jimmy Neesham smashes five sixes in 34-run over

(UTV|COLOMBO) – Jimmy Neesham blasted Thisara Perera for five sixes off a single over during New Zealand’s one-day international against Sri Lanka.

Neesham smashed five sixes off as many legal deliveries – also hitting a no-ball for two – but could only manage a single off the last.

The 34-run over was the equal third highest in ODI history, with Neesham joining AB de Villiers, who managed that many against West Indies in 2014-15.

Only Herschelle Gibbs (36) and Perera (35) himself have managed more off a single over.
