Otago beats Lions in Super Over - CLT20 2013
Sunday 29 September 2013 by Unknown
Lions 167 for 4 (De Kock 109) tied with Otago 167 for 7 (Neesham 52*, Tahir 2-28)
How Otago won the game
- If Dwaine Pretorious and Quinton de Kock had managed to scramble back for a second run off the last ball of the Super Over, Lions would have taken the game. However, the run-out resulted in a Super Over tie.
- Under such circumstances, the playing conditions state that in case both teams have the same score after a Super Over, the team whose batsmen hit the most number of boundaries (fours and sixes) combined from its two innings in both the main match and the Super Over shall be the winner.
- Lions hit 18 boundaries in the main match and two in the Super Over, while Otago hit 19 boundaries in the game and two in their Super Over.
"It was a brilliant game of cricket," says Brendon McCullum. "Could have gone either way. very fortunate to come on the right side of it. Thanks to a brilliant innings from James Neesham. I wasn't calm. Three dots in the Super Over wouldn't have gone down well. Superb bowling from Tanvir. In the end I managed to get one away. We weren't perfect. We didn't bowl as well as we should, but we will take the points."
"Everyone has their day," says Jimmy Neesham. "I guess today was my day. Did I seem calm? It might just have been on the surface. I think this is the biggest day, will stay in my memory for a while."
