Yorkshire's Adam Lyth Hammers Third-Highest Individual Score In T20 Cricket

Yorkshire's Adam Lyth Hammers Third-Highest Individual Score In T20 Cricket Yorkshire batsman Adam Lyth scripted county cricket history as he notched up the third-highest Twenty20 individual score on August 17 as Yorkshire achieved the highest team total of 260/4 in 20 overs in the NatWest T20 Blast against Northamptonshire. Lyth's score of 161 runs off 73 balls with 20 boundaries and seven maximums was an innings of uninhibited power hitting. The left-handed batsman was only 14 runs short of surpassing West Indian Chris Gayle's 175 not out from 66 balls for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) against Pune Warriors. Zimbabwe's Hamilton Mazakadza's unbeaten 162 for Mountaineers against Eagles, which was made last year, remains the second highest T20 score.
