En gland pacer Mark Wood has been breathing fire in this T20 World Cup. The Englishman bowled a 155 kmph delivery during the match against New Zealand which is so far the fastest of the tournament. While hitting a ball at this pace is always difficult, some batters thrive when they face pace.
The in-form Glenn Phillips made the most of Mark Wood's pace as the batter smashed the pacer's 152 kmph delivery for a monster six.
In the 12th over of the innings, Wood bowled a length delivery with sheer pace but Phillips smashed the bowler over long-on for a 94m six.
