Corey Anderson: Back to his bashing best

In the third T20I against Bangladesh at Bay Oval, New Zealand, batting first, were in a spot of bother at 41 for three. But then came the big innings. Corey Anderson, who had two forgettable outings, turned in the screws in the third, scoring 94 off 41 balls with 10 sixes, a record for New Zealand.

The 124-run partnership with his skipper Kane Williamson, who scored 60, helped New Zealand post 194 and eventually win the game by 27 runs to make it a whitewash for New Zealand. Anderson, who once held the record for fastest ODI century, is yet to get one in the shortest format.
