Cornwall slams T20 double century
Sports Desk//
West Indian all-rounder Rahkeem Cornwall has smashed an innings for the ages by scoring an unbeaten double century in Atlanta Open, a USA-based T20 league.
The Caribbean ace scored unbeaten 205 runs off just 77 deliveries, which included 17 fours and 22 sixes against Square Drive on Wednesday.
Cornwall ended up with a whopping strike rate of 266.77, propelling his team, the Atlanta Fire, to a whopping total of 326-1 in 20 overs. The opponents, Square Drive, fell well short of the target and lost the contest by 172 runs.
The Atlanta Open consists of 16 teams divided into four groups. The winner of the competition is slated to receive $75,000.
The heavy-hitting all-rounder has shown his brute ability with the bat in the past as well, albeit not at this scale. He is yet to represent West Indies in white-ball formats, having last represented the national side in a Test match against Sri Lanka last year.
