Ben Mayes creates history for England at U19 World Cup

Harare, Jan 21 (UNI) Ben Mayes wrote himself into history books by registering the highest individual score by an England batter at ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup when he smashed 191 off just 117 balls against Scotland on Wednesday.
Mayes’ score was also the joint second-highest of all-time in U-19 World Cup history equalling Sri Lanka’s Hasitha Boyagoda and falling just one short of the world record score of Viran Chamuditha who achieved this record earlier in the tournament against Japan, according to ICC.
Mayes came into bat after England had lost Ben Dawkins early and he wasted no time in taking the attack to the opposition. Mayes along with Joe Moores began an onslaught that saw them record a 188-run stand in about 22 overs.
