6 instances when batsmen hit a crucial six off the last ball

#2 Ryan McLaren – South Africa vs New Zealand, 2013

South African cricketer Ryan McLaren is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.

South Africa feared a 3-0 whitewash against the Kiwis when they stepped on to the field for the third and final ODI of the series on their home turf.

They needed eight off the last over with two wickets in hand. The Proteas needed to give Ryan McLaren as much strike as possible to win the game, but Dale Steyn seemed stuck at the crease for the initial chunk of the over.

The sigh of relief came for the Rainbow Nation when McLaren got the strike for the final ball. The hosts needed three runs to win the game. Franklin bowled it short and McLaren pulled it for six to save his team from what would've been an embarrasing clean sweep.
