An incredible unbeaten knock of 237 from New Zeland opener Martin Guptill fired his team into the cricket World Cup semifinals with a massive 143-run victory over the West Indies. Guptil have crossed several records with his double ton.
Reaching his 100 off 111, the last 52 balls brought Guptill a staggering 137 runs.
Guptill’s innings, including 11 sixes and 24 fours, was the highest by an individual in a World Cup match.
Guptil beats Chris Gayle’s 215 against Zimbabwe on 24 February
Guptil 237 runs is the second-highest in all one-day internationals after Rohit Sharma’s 264 for India in November last year
It was the first double century by a New Zealander in ODIs, beating the record high score of 189 he set himself.
The 28-year-old from Auckland is the first New Zealander to score back-to-back Cup hundreds. He scored 105 against Bangladesh in a Pool A game at Hamilton on March 13.
He is the fifth batsman after Sharma, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Gayle to top 200 in a one-day match — all five of those scores achieved in the last five years.Overall, this is the sixth double century in one-day internationals.
Sachin Tendulkar hit the first double century in ODIs, followed by Virender Sehwag.Rohit Sharma achieved the feat twice before Gayle became the first non-Indian batsman to hit double century in the ODIs.
Highest individual one-day international scores:
264 Rohit Sharma India vs Sri Lanka, Kolkata 2014
