Brisbane Heat’s New Zealand recruit Bevon Jacobs has scored a sensational double-century with 21 sixes in a remarkable knock in the Ford Trophy on Thursday.
Jacobs blasted 202* from 137 deliveries for the Auckland Aces against Otago in a 50-over game.
Coming in at no.4, Jacobs dispatched a whopping 21 sixes during his knock along with 7 fours. His knock included 5 sixes in the final over.
It was just a glimpse of Jacobs’ talent, having been recruited by the Heat for BBL|16 as cover for Tom Curran who’ll miss the first 3 games.
He’s priced cheaply at $85k with Brisbane having a Round 1 double, along with a Round 3 double.
While Jacobs is only signed as an international cover for Curran, the Heat are yet to confirm their third import, which could open the door for Jacobs to remain.
Jacobs has played 16 T20 Internationals for the Black Caps, averaging 31.9 with 2 half-centuries. He is right-handed middle-order batsman, likely to come in at 4-5 for the Heat.
