Aaron Ferocious Finch Pulls Off An Un-Orthodox Stroke In 3rd T20I vs New Zealand
In the end, Ish Sodhi helped New Zealand in getting their second breakthrough of the game. Glenn Maxwell then joined the party as he made the mockery of the Kiwi bowlers. He smoked 70 runs off 31 balls studded with 8 fours and five sixes with his willow. On the other hand, Aaron Finch smashed 69 runs off 44 balls with the bat. The Aussie captain played some outrageous stroke during his ferocious knock with the willow.
However, one stroke that left everyone surprised came in the over of Ish Sodhi. The right-handed Australian batsman turned into a left-handed batsman in order to pull off an unorthodox stroke to reach his fifty. It was a risky stroke to play but the visitor’s skipper got his timing right due to which the ball directly landed across the boundary rope.
Coming onto the match, Australia posted 208 runs for a loss of 4 wickets. And, New Zealand have managed 41 runs for a loss of 1 wicket in 4 overs. Martin Guptill is in top form with the bat as he is currently playing at a score of 32 runs off 15 balls.
