An inning to remember of Kane Willamson
New Zealand needed 285 runs to win the first Test against Sri Lanka. Kane Williamson & Daryl Mitchell were leading the chase but there came a twist. Asitha Fernando removed the wicket of Mitchell for 81 and New Zealand fell under pressure. Kane Williamson then took responsibility & one-handedly chased down the score to win the match. He scored 121 runs in 194 deliveries & remained not out till the end. For booking the spot in the WTC final, India needed to win the match or they had to draw and Sri Lanka to lose their match against New Zealand & that happened.
