Watch – Trent Boult Seals A Nail-Biting Victory With A Last-Ball Six

Trent Boult pulled off a trick from his bag with the bat to help Northern Knights pull off one of the most magnificent win against Canterbury in the ongoing Super Smash.

Chasing 108 runs, Knights were cruising towards victory as they were placed at 72/3 in 12.2 overs. Just when it looked like the Northern Knight will walk away with the game with ease, Canterbury made a swift comeback. They had the Knights 100/8 in 19.2 overs which brought Trent Boult out in the middle.

Trent Boult took a single on the very first ball he faced. With the equation down to six runs needed off the last ball, the Kiwi pacer produced a clean hit over the mid-wicket region to take his side home. It was a good length delivery and Boult cleared his front leg to have an almighty heave. Once he connected, the ball was headed for only one result and landed miles above the ropes.

The Canterbury teammates was shocked to see the results as they jumped off their seats to celebrate the win. The New Zealand pace himself was happy to see the outcome of the shot.
