10 Best batting knocks of the year 2015

3. Martin Guptill – 237* v West Indies:

After electing to bat first, New Zealand lost Brendon McCullum and Kane Williamson in short successions. However, opener Martin Guptill kept getting the runs at the other end. Guptill kept going after completing his fifty off 64 balls and later brought up his second World Cup hundred off 111 balls. Until this point, this innings looked ordinary but a pure onslaught was to come. Guptill went berserk scoring 137 runs off the last 52 balls. The even more, fascinating aspect was that 84 runs came in the last five overs. From 100 off 111, he ended with unbeaten at 237 off 163. Guptill became the fifth batsman to make a double-hundred and second in this World Cup as New Zealand finished with 393 for 6.
