Glenn Phillips Rockets to Record-Breaking T20 Half-Century

Glenn Phillips showcased his exceptional cricket prowess as he and Rachin Ravindra guided New Zealand to a dominant eight-wicket victory over Canada, thereby securing their spot in the Super 8s of the T20 World Cup. Phillips notched the fastest fifty in New Zealand's T20 history during this electrifying contest.

Canada's innings was headlined by Yuvraj Samra, who made history with the youngest century in a T20 World Cup. Despite his efforts, an impressive 146-run unbeaten stand by Rachin Ravindra and Glenn Phillips overshadowed him, with New Zealand chasing down Canada's 174-run target in just 15.1 overs.

Samra’s standout performance included a stunning range of shots, but New Zealand's relentless pace, marked by Phillips' six sixes and four boundaries, sealed the triumph with ease. Canada remains winless in the group, aiming for redemption in their upcoming fixture against Afghanistan.
