Stuart Broad's 10 unforgettable performances in international cricket

8. 4/24 vs New Zealand, Eden Park (T20I), 2013

In 2013, England toured New Zealand and the former’s campaign was going well as they won the ODI series by a 2-1 margin. After the One-Day series, England were looking to kick start their T20I series positively at Eden Park and Stuart Broad helped them to do that comfortably.

In the first contest, New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum won the toss and put England to bat first. McCullum’s decision went against the Kiwis as the visitors racked up 214 runs in their 20 overs. Defending the huge total, Broad provided the first breakthrough to England, removing Hamish Rutherford on 18. Rutherford’s scalp gave confidence to England bowlers Steven Finn and Luke Wright to do more damage to New Zealand. 

The hosts were in trouble with the loss of four wickets at the score of 111 but the presence of the veteran James Franklin was giving them confidence of comeback. However, Broad trapped Franklin and Colin Munro and helped England to have control over the game. Broad completed his spell with 4-0-24-4 and riding on his superb bowling numbers, England also pocketed the match comfortably by 40 runs.
