Shai Hope Makes Cricket History with Century Against New Zealand
West Indies' Shai Hope made cricket history by scoring a century against New Zealand.
This century made him the first batter to score a hundred against all 11 full-member nations.
His 109 off 69 balls helped West Indies set a target of 248 in 34 overs.
However, New Zealand won the match by 5 wickets, chasing down the target with 3 balls to spare.
Hope's century was his 19th in ODIs, equaling Brian Lara's record for West Indies, and he also became the second-fastest West Indian to reach 6,000 ODI runs.
