Bevon Jacobs Hits Unbeaten 202 with 21 Sixes in Near-Record List A Innings
New Zealand batter Bevon Jacobs scored an unbeaten 202 off 137 balls in a Ford Trophy List A match against Otago, hitting 21 sixes—the most by a New Zealand player and second globally behind Australia's Da'Arcy Short's 23 sixes. Jacobs became the fourth New Zealand player to score a List A double century. He previously played T20Is for New Zealand and was contracted by Mumbai Indians but did not play in the IPL 2025 season. Jacobs' innings included seven fours and set a near-record for sixes in List A cricket.
