Top 5 batting performances at the 2016 World T20 that don't fade away

Jason Roy – 78 v New Zealand, Delhi

Jason Roy in action vs New Zealand

Roy had played a crucial part in England’s record chase of South Africa’s 229 in the league stage. However, he made sure he didn’t leave the business unfinished in a big match a second time in a row.

Batting second against New Zealand in the semi-final in Delhi, Roy made sure England never had any pressure due to the required run rate. New Zealand had won four out of four in the league stage, but didn’t have answers to Roy’s 78 off just 44 balls studded with 11 fours and 2 sixes.

He got England off to a flyer, adding 82 in just 50 balls with Alex Hales, of which Hales scored just 20 at nearly run a ball. However, by the time Roy departed on 110, England needed just 44 in 8 overs, which they achieved easily, thanks to Jos Buttler’s quick flourish. Roy has been one of the defining gladiators of England’s new brand of cricket playing a fearless, clean and an aggressive game at the top.
