Ben Mayes made headlines after smashing a record-breaking 191 off 117 deliveries for England against Scotland during the U19 World Cup on Wednesday. Batting first, England posted a mammoth 404/6 in 50 overs, riding on a stunning knock from Mayes.
England lost Ben Dawkins early for 5 but Mayes along with Joseph Moores stitched a partnership of 188 runs for the second wicket. Moores chipped in with 81 off 65.
Mayes’ score was also the joint second-highest of all-time in U19 World Cup history equalling Sri Lanka’s Hasitha Boyagoda and falling just one short of the world record score of Viran Chamuditha who achieved this record earlier in the tournament against Japan.
Hampshire’s Ben Mayes has played 11 List A matches and 3 T20s. He has struck 230 runs in the List A format. He had earlier scored 77* against Zimbabwe in the tournament.
